BELOVED HARBOR SEAL HAS PASSED AWAY

Seattle Aquarium mourns loss of beloved 39-year-old harbor seal Barney

(KOMO NEWS) – The Seattle Aquarium is grieving the loss of
Barney, a cherished 39-year-old harbor seal who passed away 
today.

Barney, who was the equivalent of a 100-year-old human, was
one of the oldest known harbor seals in human care.

Dr. Caitlin Hadfield, Director of Animal Health, and the veterinary
and animal care teams had been closely monitoring Barney’s
health for years, ensuring his comfort and happiness.

Despite developing age-related health issues, Barney had been
doing well until a recent acute decline prompted the difficult
decision to humanely euthanize him.

Farewell to Barney - Seattle Aquarium

Barney was the first harbor seal to be born here at the Aquarium back in  1985. Over his long life, he was cherished by his caretakers for his  easygoing and inquisitive nature.
