Sehunde Susi, Gizmo and Sammy return to the Rostock Zoo!
On June 25, 2025, the time has come: The seals Susi, Gizmo and Sammy leave their temporary home in the Marine Science Center (MSC) in Rostock and move to their new seal system in the Rostock Zoo. After two and a half years in the seal research center in Warnemünde, this move not only means a new beginning for the animals, but also the great event of the opening of the new seal system on July 3, such as der-warnemuender.de reported.
The seals have received intensive care and medical care in their previous stay. Susi, who will move into the new facility at the proud age of 36, remains in the MSC for two weeks to recover from some health restrictions. Gizmo (23) and the young Sammy (3), on the other hand, have already transported the new salt water pool. The prudent transport of the animals was organized by boat and special transporter so that everything runs smoothly. Guido Dehnhardt, the head of the MSC, expresses melancholy about the farewell, but is proud of the successful cooperation and the move of the animals.
The new seal system
The new seal system in the Rostock Zoo was built for an impressive 12.5 million euros. It should not only offer species -appropriate conditions for the seals, but also accommodate two South African seaside bears, EDA and Alfie. With modern technology and panoramic windows, the system becomes a new highlight for visitors who want to experience the animals up close. The official opening will take place on July 3, followed by a colorful family program on the opening weekend, which is planned on July 5th and 6th. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. there are all sorts of attractions, including animal presentations, face painting and a wheel of fortune.
not to forget, the meaning of the transport of animals, as it becomes clear in a new report by the Animal Welfare Association. Every year millions of animals are transported for breeding, mast or slaughter over thousands of kilometers. The conditions are often stressful because the animals are often transported in dirty trucks without sufficient supply. This topic raises important questions that are closely linked to animal welfare and should also be taken into account in the reorganization and care of seals, such as tierschutzbund.de Notes.
A good reason to celebrate the happy move of the seals from the MSC to their new home in the Rostock Zoo. Here you will spend many happy years, surrounded by the latest technology and a species -appropriate environment - a nice experience for both the animals and for visitors who want to admire these fascinating animals.
