The Smithsonian’s National Zoo debuted two new popular additions to its Beaver Valley section on
Wednesday, May, 3– Calli and Summer, two 10-month-old Californian sea lions. Biologist Linda Moore

nose to the end of a pole for a fish reward. This is the initial step in their training that will
help keepers manage the two feisty sea lions as they grow. The young sea lions were met with applause
and cheers from Zoo visitors waiting for the pups to come out. Calli and Summer will share the exhibit
with the National Zoo’s 29-year-old California sea lion, Maureen.
