Oldest Harbor Seal To Celebrate 50th Birthday

(Newport, OR) -- Skinny, the world's oldest harbor seal, is turning 50. In nature, harbor seals can live into their 20s, while those in human care can live into their 30s, or as in Skinny's case, well beyond. Skinny was found stranded in 1975 on a Washington state beach, orphaned, dehydrated and starving. She was cared for at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and then in 1992 moved to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. A public celebration is planned for June 3rd.
