Ariel was born at SeaWorld Orlando
in June of 2002 and joined the SLEWTHS family in the summer
of 2003. She completed some foundational training with us and
then spent a year and a half with a colleague of ours, while
our current facility was being constructed. It was there that
she was introduced to a life of travel for public outreach programs
throughout the United States. In May 2005, Ariel returned to
SLEWTHS, where her focus was on learning the remainder of her
medical exam and obedience behaviors. Since then, she has been
progressing with her show and public interaction behaviors,
and is currently one of the primary animals performing with
Sea Lion Encounters. |
Ariel is
a very inquisitive, playful sea lion who enjoys interacting
with her trainers and fellow SLEWTHS sea lions. She
is very creative when it comes to making up new and
exciting games to play, and is a fast learner inside
training sessions as well. She is one of the anchor animals for our Sea Lion Encounters program, taking part in multiple public outreach events each year. The future is definitely
bright for our little, superstar sea lion, Ariel. |
