You didn\u2019t know how much you wanted to see a video of a harbor seal playing with his rubber duckie\u2014until now.<\/p>\n
The New England Aquarium may call it an enrichment activity designed to stimulate its resident Atlantic harbor seals, but we call it adorable fun.<\/p>\n
And, soon after posting a video on social media of Reggae, a 33-year-old seal playing with its beloved yellow duck, a new \u2018influencer\u2019 was born.<\/p>\n
The post shared to Instagram and Facebook by the aquarium in Boston<\/a>, tallied 80,000 Likes from viewers melting over the seal kissing and hugging the floaty toy.<\/p>\n Rebekah Miller, the aquarium\u2019s manager overseeing the Atlantic harbor seals and California sea lions, told the Associated Press<\/a> that the toys serve a purpose.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to challenge our animals\u2026and really allow them to use those problem-solving skills that they have.\u201d<\/p>\n The facility is home to five seals, all of which were born in captivity, and all of which are curious by nature. So placing unusual items around their habitat, which is built to resemble a rocky New England coast, helps keep them engaged and mentally stimulated.<\/p>\n MORE RUBBER DUCKIE NEWS!
