Sea lion soccer enrichment! @NewEnglandAquarium

Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

We have soccer players at the Aquarium too! ⚽️🦭

With FIFA coming to town next summer, we decided to kick things off early with a little soccer match of our own. Or should we say... football? Apparently we’re the only ones calling it soccer. 😅

No matter what you call it, this playful “match” is more than just fun to watch—it’s an enrichment activity that encourages natural behaviors and keeps our sea lions mentally sharp, physically active, and ready for anything.

We're all ready for the FIFA World Cup Final Draw today!

Diving With a Purpose: Restoring Our Oceans, Preserving Our Heritage

$Sea Turtle Glow Up ✨ This sea turtle has come such a long way! “Tyche” was found cold-stunned on the beach this past winter, suffering from a chronic facial fracture of unknown origin. Tyche had significant damage to their face when they arrived, but is now nearly unrecognizable (in the best way). After months of expert care at our Sea Turtle Hospital, healing, and a whole lot of TLC, Tyche is looking so much better and is almost ready to return to the ocean! The name “Tyche” was given to this turtle as part of our Greek mythology naming theme this year. In Greek mythology, Tyche is the goddess of fortune, luck, and chance—making it the perfect name for a turtle who’s been given a second chance at life! #SeaTurtleRescue #SeaTurtleRehabilitation #SeaTurtles #Tyche #GreekMythology #SeaTurtleGlowUp$
