Me with a couple of harbor seals at SeaWorld Orlando during Adventure Camp 2007
Dolphins are not the only animals that I interacted and worked with, I also did the same thing with seals and sea lions. My first Sea lion encounter was back in 1996 at Zooquarium when I picked to be kissed by a california sea lion named Willow(Willow died in 2006 from brain cancer) and I would be picked again to get a sea lion kiss from another sea lion named Hunter(who also died the same year as Willow but from heart faliure) in 2003. I also got picked to be in the New England Aquarium's sea lion show before they moved them to the Shedd Aquarium and the Brookefeild Zoo.
A few years after being picked to be in NEAQ's sea lion show, I got to interact and work with the harbor seals there and that was so much fun to meet these fun and playful animals.
