My Story:

This handsome seal was born at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut and given the name "Cobh" to match his father's Irish name, Cork. Pronounced “cove,” both of these seals were named after harbors in Ireland.  Cobh came to Oceans of Fun at Hersheypark with Harper in May of 2021. Cobh has a very calm, patient, and sweet demeanor. He loves training and playtime with enrichment, especially when it includes ice cubes! While he may be young, Cobh has come a long way with his training and is always ready to learn something new. He is known for his unique seal vocalization. He can regularly be seen in our daily shows and programs at Hersheypark. Be sure to stop by to meet this adorable seal!
