Happy birthday Skinny! At age 50, she's the oldest known harbor seal in the world. Skinny will be sealebrating all day today at her home at Oregon Coast Aquarium — follow along to join in the fun! #Skinnyis50

Two keepers here at the Oregon Zoo, Julie and Nicole, worked with Skinny in her younger years. Said Nicole:

"Skinny was one of the first harbor seals I ever worked with when I began my career in the early '90's. She was a 'spicy' seal that taught me to respect working with wild animals. I enjoyed training her and even got to snorkel around with her and the other seals for enrichment and she was always very respectful of my space!"

Happy 50th Skinny!
