Problem is, Leonard’s not exotic enough to compete with the amazing tropical fish, harbor seals and octopuses (or is it octopi?). So he launched a grassroots “Let Leonard In” effort to rally support. It helped the Aquarium set an all-time attendance record (up 32%) in its first year.

A seal swap could increase the population of harbor seals at aquariums in Tacoma and Seattle. On Thursday, a seal named Q – a 13-year-old male from the Seattle Aquarium – arrived at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Biologists hope he’ll mate with two Tacoma female seals, Shila and Qilak.

Q, a 13-year-old, 190-pound harbor seal slipped into the spacious pool at the Rocky Shores exhibit at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium on Thursday. His visit is part of a cooperative breeding exchange with Seattle Aquarium. He came to mate - the aquarium hopes - with its female harbor seals.
