Diego is a spunky, juvenile male sea lion. Born to Makaia and Slick on April 11, 2004, Diego is an affectionate and lovable animal. Diego's birth surprised us in the spring of 2004, as he arrived very early in the season. Although sea lions don't usually pup until mid-summer, this little guy arrived full term wieghing 13 lbs on Easter day. Diego weaned from his mother at 10 months of age and today eats approximately 18 lbs of fish each day and weighs 250 pounds. He loves training and currently knows approximately 75 different behaviors. In the summer of 2009, Diego (along with his trainers) began traveling to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA to star in a new summer show.  Each fall Diego returns along with his poolmates to Milwaukee where his training continues.  This past year Geneva joined Diego in Hersheypark for the summer season. Diego is now back in Wisconsin enjoying the fall and winter with his pinniped pals at Ocean Connections.
