Baden-Württemberg: Heidelberg mane seal girl still has to learn to swim

Heidelberg (dpa / lsw) - A little seal girl reinforces the group of maned seals in the Heidelberg Zoo. Yuna, who was born just over two weeks ago, will learn to swim and dive in the outdoor pool in a few weeks - skills which, like all other seal pups, she is not born with. According to the zoo, visitors to the zoo can then watch as they familiarize themselves with the new element.

At first, mother Kelo and her offspring are separated from their father. The females are ready to mate again immediately after the birth of the child. So that the bull Atos doesn't crush his little daughter while making love with Kelo, he has to stay away from mother and child.
