Nederland - Pieterburen, Zeehondencentrum

Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen (Sealcentre Pieterburen) is a seal hospital. In the shelter are only animals who for whatever reason are sick, injured or are in trouble. The goal is to rehabilitate these animals and release them in their natural habitat.

The Seal Centre -founded in 1971 - is one of the world's leading centers when it comes to the care and rehabilitation of seals. Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen started as a simple crèche evolved into a professional scientific research-based seal hospital, with accompanying facilities such as quarantines, a laboratory, a chemist and all the research equipment imaginable. All seals are released into the wild after their rehabilitation period.

Seals are not "beautiful" animals but they do have a lovely face!

Superb photos of the seals Jaap...............they are really delightful animals and they always make me smile. Those large eyes look so appealing.

I also like the photo of the hopeful looking gulls..............waiting "just in case" the seals leave any fish floating around after being fed.

Excellent work!

Ils sont trop chou ! Les goélands attendent pour partager le repas des phoques ! J'espère qu'ils ne leur feront pas de mal.

How did you do it in so few pictures ?
Show of the water life in perfect suite of "faces and notes".
And if they seem happy it is because they are.
I like this very much.

A lovely close-up of these seals in this pool. I know that we too have such wild-life centres for our seals. Good that they are released back into the wild later.
