News Detail

Ocean Connections is devastated to share that our femal Atlantic harbor seal, Mango, has passed. When animals, like Mango, come from the wild it is not uncommon for them to have underlying health issues which do not surface for years.  In April of 2021 after extensive efforts from our animal care and veterinary teams, x-rays of Mango’s chest showed she has cancerous masses.  We dedicated our lives to ensuring that Mango received the best care, quality of life, and unwavering love throughout her journey.  She, unfortunately, succumbed to the disease and lost her battle with cancer at the beginning of May.  She will forever be remembered as an amazing ambassador, loving mom, and an international internet sensation.  We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to have loved and be loved by Mango.
