Muroran City

A video of a lovable seal became a hot topic on a social networking site of an aquarium in Hokkaido, Japan. The video has attracted about 50,000 likes and is healing everyone's hearts.

Mole can't wait to eat.
This is not a fast forward video.
The movement of her hind legs is wonderful.

Quote from @MuroranAquarium's post

Moru, a seal, "missed his food so much he was rough around the edges."

アザラシ

The star of the show. Moru-chan, a sesame seal.

This aquarium is the "Muroran Minpo Minna no Aquarium (Muroran Municipal Aquarium)" in Muroran City, Hokkaido. Moru-chan, born in March 2019, is a seal that can live for 30 to 40 years and is still in the prime of his playful life. She is still in her playful mood, and her appearance has earned her many comments such as, "Too cute! I can't stop the urge to feed him." "I just want to watch videos like this all the time," were among the many comments. According to Mr. Takayama, the staff member who posted the video,

When I was walking around to check the water intake from the sea, Moru-chan was pacing around with great vigor, so I took a quick shot (laugh). It was right around the time when the marine animals were about to eat, so it seems that they were wildly excited because they missed their food.

Staff member Ms. Takayama, aka "the sister of fishes," for her comments.

She said that Moru-chan "does this movement quite often," so you are lucky if you can see her during feeding time! Let's be healed by this "pat-pat-pat-pat".

Also "Satsuki-chan of Kerorin Tub" who buzzed on SNS in 2023.

Cute "Satsuki-chan" holding a keroline bucket

The nine seals at the aquarium are a group of professionals who all have one trick up their sleeve. Last year, Satsuki-chan suddenly came into the limelight with her cute appearance holding the keroline bucket. Hogo-chan" slides around in the pool that has not yet been filled with water in the early morning, "Kaoru-san" plays the belly drum on land, and the males beat the acrylics in the tank in unceasing succession.


Satsuki-chan, a keroline bucket, was the subject of a national news story.

Originally named "Muroran Municipal Aquarium", it will be named "Muroran Minpo Minnano Aquarium" with naming rights from 2023.

Muroran Minpo Minnano Aquarium" with such adorable seals was established in 1953 and is the oldest aquarium in Hokkaido. The building, which still retains its original appearance from the time of its opening, is still in use, and the old-fashioned exhibition method, called "car window-type exhibition," is now a precious asset.

ペンギン

The sight of Humboldt penguins waddling along is also popular.

The "delicious level," in which staff members share their impressions of actual food, has been picked up by the media and has become famous.

The staff's comments about the "delicious level" of the food have become well-known and have been picked up by the media. It's a feast."

In addition to fish, visitors can see seals, penguins, sea lions, and other marine animals, and there is also a mini amusement park with a bean train, merry-go-round, and Ferris wheel, which is well received by small children. Many visitors come from Hakodate and Sapporo.
