SEA-lions attempted to pop bubbles whilst Queen song We Are The Champions played in the background.

A husbandry and training of sea lions and seals workshop was held at the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

The Colwyn Bay venue enjoyed a two-day visit from Gigantic bubbleist’s, Dr Zigs and a session, with wands and mixes based on sustainable and ethically sound principles, was held.

The workshop attracted delegates from zoos across the globe who were all keen to develop their understanding of the animals.

Michelle Pywell, head keeper at the zoo, said: "The Sea Lion and Seal workshop went down really well. We had zoo’s from all over Europe attending, including, Wroclaw Zoo in Poland and Blair Drummond Safari Park in Scotland.

"It was great to get so many passionate keepers in the same room to share experiences and knowledge. Networking is fairly important to ensure we keep current with husbandry and training techniques."

The zoo also enjoyed a Red Squirrel Awareness Week. Facts were shared by the zoo on social media throughout the week.
