Audubon Zoo mourns the death of Huey the sea lion
|
Audubon Zoo is mourning the death of Huey, one of its California sea lions. Huey died of complications of acute renal failure despite heroic efforts by Audubon’s hospital and sea lion teams and a generous donation of time, equipment and expertise from MedVet of New Orleans. Huey came to Audubon when he was 2 years old after he was found stranded off the coast of California and rehabilitated at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. He arrived in New Orleans with Roux, a female sea lion. The two were often seen swimming and playing together.
