California sea lion Luce gave birth to an adorable pup at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling following an 11-month pregnancy, and it has an amazing Loch Ness Monster-inspired name.
California sea lion Luce gave birth to her second pup, Nessie, on June 25 at Blair Drummond Safari Park following an 11-month pregnancy. Described by keepers as having an "adventurous spirit", the adorable seal is named after the Loch Ness Monster .
Sea lions team leader at Blair Drummond Jen Carpenter commented: "We're delighted to welcome Nessie to our family. Nessie is growing more confident every day and, just like the mythical creature she's named for, seems to have a very adventurous spirit. Confirming sea lion pregnancies can be a challenging task. However, the team at the Stirling safari park utilised modern ultrasound technology to help.
Eventually, the two phases came together, allowing keeper to complete a true ultrasound. Nessie was discovered during one of these training sessions.
