Video: Sea lions ‘boop’ glass to greet staff at zoo in Tacoma

A new video shows a pair of sea lions swimming and “booping” their noses against the glass as they are greeted by staff and caregivers at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington, on Monday.

“Rescued sea lions Eloise and Boomer dive in to say hello and happy Monday!” staff wrote alongside this video on social media.

The two orphaned sea lions arrived at the zoo in July 2019, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium said.
