Hong Kong’s first three spotted seals born in Ocean Park

The first spotted seals were born in Hong Kong between Apr. 13 and May 4. All the seals are male and named Ocean, Sonny and Sammy and currently weight about 10kg.

The spotted seal is a species only found in China, lives up to 35 years and around 130kg.

The newborn seals are born with a coat of fluffy fur which they shed one month later, and they usually dip into the water three days after birth.

Visitors can visit the seals at Ocean Park this summer reports the SCMP.
