Sally quicly returned to her enclosure, which she shares with two other sea lions. The zoo remained closed Saturday
A Central Park Zoo sea lion named Sally had a bit of a field day thanks to the severe weather in New York. The mammal briefly escaped her enclosure after heavy rain caused her pool to flood.
The sea lion, who was seen swimming out of the flooded pool and roaming around the surrounding area Friday, eventually returned to her enclosure, which she shares with two other sea lions,from Jim Breheny, executive vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Zoos and Aquarium. Breheny said the female sea lion didn’t swim too far from her habitat and never left the sight of zoo personnel.
“Zoo staff monitored the sea lion as she explored the area before returning to the familiar surroundings of the pool and the company of the other two sea lions,” said Breheny.. Breheny said that after the water levels receded, the sea lions were once again contained inside their habitat.“No staff or visitors were in danger and the sea lion remained inside the zoo, never breaching the zoo’s secondary perimeter,” Breheny said.
