Standing up in the pool! The "standing seal" at Otaru Aquarium has become a topic of conversation: "Maybe he was a human in a previous life...".
The Otaru Aquarium is popular for its dolphin shows and the "unruly" penguin show. One of the most popular seals in the aquarium showed an "unexpected appearance" that has become a hot topic on social networking sites.
Well, you know what?
He is completely standing up.

The majestic, upright posture of the fish looks as if it is standing on its head! The posture has received more than 50,000 likes on social media, with comments such as "looks strong," "maybe he was human in a previous life," "looks like a master," and "a gym teacher standing at the school gate.
A seal continues to stand on his haunches.
We spoke with the poster, Gatchirika, who took the photo of the seal, and found that the seal in the photo was a seal that was performing in the show. In particular, "Seiko-chan," who is standing in the foreground, has been standing in the pool for quite a long time.

And not only on that day, but when she stopped by the aquarium the next day, she also saw a standing seal. Perhaps this is a common sight at Otaru Aquarium?

Ms. Gatchirika, who usually visits aquariums and zoos nationwide to see seals, told us about the attractions of the Otaru Aquarium.
At Otaru Aquarium, you can give fish to seals and Steller's sea lions during regular business hours except during the winter season. It is very interesting to see the seals that want to receive a fish make different appeals, such as slapping the surface of the water, raising their hands, and oohing and aahing.
Also, at the Steller's sea lion show, you can see them climb up rocks and jump with great power. The penguin show, where the penguins don't listen to anything you say, is also very cute.

A homepage overflowing with love for seals, "Seal Travel Handy Tool".
The website "Seal Travel Handy Tool," for which Ms. Gatchirika, who answered our questions this time, is in charge of compiling facility information and illustrations, introduces information on aquariums and zoos with seals throughout Japan. This website conveys the overflowing love for seals, and we hope you will make use of it when searching for "seal facilities" in Japan!
