A male harbor seal, above, swims along the glass of the new harbor
seal habitat at the Virginia Marine Science Museum in Virginia Beach
Friday as Thomas R. Frantz, dressed as King Neptune, listens to a
speaker during the dedication ceremony. Five male harbor seals are
on exhibit in the 60,000-gallon salt water habitat, which is the
last major exhibit to be completed as part of the museum's expansion
project. It is located at the facility's main entrance on General
Booth Boulevard. At right, a seal named Norton raises a flipper in
response to a command from technician Cecilia Hatton.
