Pinniped Point
If you like sea lions or any other pinniped species, you may check out this brand new forum, created by a Brookfield Zoo regular, where you can discuss with other people about pinnipeds and possibly other marine mammal species that live in zoos and aquariums around the world.

To Work With Animals
Working with animals is never easy. It requires hard work and knowledge in training. It is nothing like "swimming with dolphins" in the Caribbean. In fact, for those of you who are still young, try volunteering in a local zoo or an aquarium to see how it is like to work with wild animals. Photo © Matt L.

Seafood WATCH is a program run by Monterey Bay Aquarium
