Q&A: Seal biology
Dive into the biology of a seal!
Benieuwd wat zeehonden eten, hoe hun skelet eruitziet of waarom ze soms longwormen hebben? Tijdens onze wekelijkse interactieve presentatie ontdek je alles over het fascinerende leven en lichaam van zeehonden – van hun tanden tot hun tenen!
Omdat ons team van zeehondenverzorgers en dierenartsen uit verschillende landen komt, is het vragenuur meestal in English.
Het vragenuur Zeehondenbiologie vindt iedere zaterdag en zondag plaats tussen 13:00 en 14:00 uur.

Our seal carer or specialist will tell you about the biology, behaviour and habitats of these remarkable animals, using special objects and real skulls, bones, skins and stuffed animals.
