Boo, was a day or so old when his mum had abandoned him, he was rescued by the Sanctuary´s local vet at Dunollie castle in Oban on 15th June 2014. Click here to read about Boo´s rescue.

Boo is the only boy in the small colony of seals that he lives with, but he doesn´t mind! Boo loves playing with hoops and his favourite thing is spinning around in the water! He is very playful and Lora, Macey and Pippa are his best friends. Boo enjoys hanging out in the top pool because he is very nosey and curious, so he likes watching all the guests through the windows!

The Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary was closed on 31st October 2018 and Boo was moved to Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary.

On 11th April 2019 Boo along with another adult common seal, Miley, moved to the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham. They are in the centre´s brand new Mammal Rescue Facility where they will be cared for by the specialist welfare team. The pair are being fostered from Hunstanton and Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuaries respectively.

The newly engineered environment at Birmingham Sea Life Centre has been carefully constructed to emulate a natural ocean habitat. It has multiple touch points and observation decks from land and sea. The live working rescue facility will serve a dual purpose to become a tactile viewing encounter where visitors can become immersed in the lives of these incredible creatures.

If you visit Birmingham Sea Life Centre go and say hello to Boo, he is smaller than Miley. Click here to see a selection of photos on our Fliker page of Boo and Miley at Birmingham Sea Life Centre.
