One of Brookfield Zoo’s most popular exhibits, Seven Seas Panorama is home to the zoo’s groups of marine mammals. Found here are Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, Northern fur seals, harbor seals, and Pacific walruses.


Interns at the Seven Seas Panorama gain experience in the care of many different animals. All of the animals participate in daily training sessions and public presentations. Under the guidance of marine mammal staff, interns assist in diet preparation, enclosure maintenance, and presentations to zoo visitors. Interns will not have direct hands-on experience with the animals.

Through their experience at Seven Seas, interns will acquire an understanding of the management and training of marine mammals by working alongside trainers, talking with zoo staff, observing training sessions, and reading suggested literature.
