Another animal hero of Hurricane Sandy is Bernie, the harbor seal. He weathered the storm with water-mates Coral and Nixon in the Sea Cliffs exhibit at the New York Aquarium (NYA.)

In nature, harbor seals live on the rocky edges of the world’s northern oceanic coastal waters where they can find protection from predators and weather.

Bernie and his seal friends continue their day-to-day activities with their keepers and trainers at the NYA as rebuilding progresses.
