This loveable duo, named Sensa and Mabouche are the newest arrivals at The Deep, measuring at just over 1m in size.
Mabouche is the youngest of the pair and is between 15 and 20 years old and weighs 40kg. Sansbecco is slightly older between 25 and 30 years and weighs around 100kg.
Both Sensa and Mabouche were rescued from the wild after being caught on fisherman’s long lines in the Mediterranean, which damaged their lower jaws. Even after rehabilitation at a special centre in Italy, it was decided they couldn’t go back into the wild as they wouldn’t be able to catch their own food so Aquatopia have been looking after them for the last 5 years.
They are currently on show in our 2.4m litre Endless Ocean exhibit.
