MINOAS & HERMES ARE NOW FREE!

20/03/2023

After staying in MOm's Rehabilitation Center in the Attica Zoological Park for about 4 months, the two male pups, Minoas and Hermes, were successfully released and are now travelling the Aegean Sea in order to be reintegrated to the natural habitat. Minoas has been fitted with a satellite tracker, which will allow us to monitor his movements for the first few months at sea, until his first molting during which the tracker will fall off. The next step of the rehabilitation program is the release of little Rodoula, who is expected to follow in Minoas and Hermes' footsteps in the coming weeks. We wish them all happy travels and to be safe!
