Hello,

I’m looking for information on behavior, training,  housing with other marine mammal species and aggression of harp seals in a zoo or aquarium setting.   If anyone has maintained harp seals or knows of a facility that has, please contact me (contact info below) directly.  I have searched online for this information and have turned up a very limited number of facilities that appear to have maintained this species in the past. I am attempting to contact those facilities, but I'm hoping that anyone with information will contact me. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
