Rescued six years ago at Point Grey Park after life-threatening eye injuries, Jessica navigates her world with confidence and curiosity despite being almost completely blind. She was just recently paid a visit by her celebrity namesake, actress Jessica Biel—they became fast friends.
Rescued near McInnes Island in 2017, Bella Bella has found her forever home at the Vancouver Aquarium. As our second youngest sea lion, she was once a nervous pup unsure about taking the plunge—but you’d never know it now! Today, she’s one of our most enthusiastic swimmers, bringing big personality to every splash.
Found abandoned as a young pup on a beach in Port Hardy four years ago, Quatse was named after the nearby Quatse River. Today, this spirited little sea otter is one of the aquarium’s most popular residents. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in smarts, charm, and non-stop spins that delight visitors daily!
