- Rescue Centre patient Swimmy Fallon earned his reputation as "not so swimmy" as he didn't seem to like water that much at all. During swims he'd sit in his tub, waiting for it to be over. Good news, he's slowly progressing and is learning to seal. @jimmyfallon @FallonTonight

00:00 - It's Katmai's 12th rescueversary! Rescued near Homer, Alaska in 2012 and rehabilitated at the Alaska SeaLife Center, she was transferred to the Vancouver Aquarium in 2013. Happy rescueversary, Katmai!
- After hitting another milestone in her recovery, we brought Luna out into the upper otter habitat for a brief session! She will continue to be behind the scenes at this time as she continues to recover.
