A day in the life of a Penguin Keeper

Ever wonder what it's like to work with these cool penguins?

Kirsten, our Penguin Keeper, will share with you an entire day in the life of a penguin keeper! See her day-to-day life with the penguins, and the hard work that goes into keeping our colony happy and healthy each and every day.

It's feeding time!

Here's a snapshot of our feedings at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's

Meet Jaxon the Loggerhead Turtle!

Jaxon is a juvenile loggerhead turtle that was in care at our Turtle Hospital from late 2017 through to early 2019. Harry, one of our senior aquarists, is here to give you a sneak-peek at the Turtle Hospital and some of the work that goes into rehabilitating sick sea turtles.

Harry will walk you through some of the ways our turtle care team ensure turtles get on the road to recovery. You'll also hear all about loggerhead turtles and what makes them so special!

Abby the female loggerhead turtle

Abby has been with us at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's since December 2019; undergoing rehabilitation after washing up on a New Zealand beach. Abby was positively buoyant (floating!) when she arrived here and had a severe bone infection in one of her flippers. Unfortunately, this meant that she had to have the flipper amputated to save her life.

You can meet Abby going through her final stage of rehabilitation at our Turtle Bay.

The Weedfish

The hunt for an elusive fish in New Zealand’s disappearing kelp forests sends two marine scientists on a deep underwater dive. 

Our waters are under threat. In a bold attempt to defend them, two marine researchers and photographers embark on a wild search for the Crested Weedfish. The goal, capture a powerful photo of the rarely-seen fish before its home is damaged beyond repair.
