Visitors are keen to see Dom, who can be seen following mum Salt and fellow female Liz around.

Dom is also chuffed to be with his dad, Berkley Whipsnade’s loveable male sealion. In the coming months it is hoped Dom can start his training exercises, once he has moved from mother’s nourishing milk to fish.

Dom, who is named after Dominic Byrne, newsreader on the BBC Radio 1 Chris Moyles Show, was born in June and is already growing up fast.
