When we visited the port of Seward in Alaska we called in to the Sea Life Centre there - an aquarium and rescue/rehabilitation centre for marine mammals.
We were very taken with the puffins - Horned and Tufted. I had never seen these in the wild (we did on our boat trip the following day).
They had a quirky style of flight but were very happy splashing around on the surface of the water.
There were some exotic and unusual species of fish and some beautiful invertebrates..
This two-month old walrus who became separated from his mother is being hand rested and prepared to be returned to the wild.
He already weighs 200 pounds!
The seals and sea lions were very lively in their tanks.
But it was good to see them in the wild the following day, basking in the sun at the edge of the fjord.
