Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary - Resident Seals

Tyne, a female Harbour/Common Seal (Phoca Vitulina), was born in 2006 at the Aquarium in Tynemouth, she was moved to Scarborough SEA LIFE Centre before arriving at the Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary in 2008.

During feeding time, Tyne is very cheeky and loves to pinch fish from Sally and Amber.

The Staff were taken by surprise when Tyne gave birth to a healthy pup on 5th June 2015. They had no idea she was expecting! A cute baby seal pup could be the product of a holiday romance.

The youngster must have been conceived in July 2014 whilst Tyne and other residents were "holidaying" in Scarborough...while the Sanctuary was re-built after being devastated by storm floods.
