Sibling harmony

Belfast Zoological Gardens is celebrating the birth of two California sea lion pups!

Posing for the camera

Visit Solo and Twirl, Belfast Zoo's latest arrivals at 10:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. local time as they 'make waves' at the sea lion pool!

Laughing happy

Proud dad of both pups is Wesley, who is 20 years old. He arrived in Belfast in February 2007 from Woburn Safari Park, and has since fathered 11 pups.

Taking a little rest

The male pup was born to mother, Stella on June 4 and the female pup was born to mother Arielle on June 11.
