Satara is our female Atlantic harbor seal and has been serving as an ambassador educating public with us since her arrival in 1997.  She was among the first seals to call Ocean Connections home.  Small but mighty, this beautiful seal has a larger-than-life personality.  Not only that but Satara is a medical marvel!  She has survived not only an initial bout of West Nile Virus in 2020 but also a relapse in 2022.  Not much is known about this disease in seals other than it tends to be fatal.  Satara continues to not only beat all odds but is amazing her marine mammal veterinary specialists, as well as the human neuologists who are directing her care.  You can't help but cheer for this sweet and sassy seal!
