=== Original sea lions ===
Multiple copies of the same article in Google's Newspaper Archive say [[Rumplesealskin]] came to Birmingham with "four other" sea lions.  However, the Marine Mammal Database only has records for a total of four sea lions at Birmingham in 1975.  I'm therefore assuming "four other" was a mistake and in fact there were only four sea lions originally, not five. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 13:11, 26 February 2014 (PST)

1974

Where did the 1974 date come from? I didn't see it in the article cited. I found a related press release (Word format) that says 1975, but doesn't give a specific date. I (believe I) remember when the sea lion exhibit was new. I would have only been 3 in 1974, so it seems unlikely I would remember it. (Four also seems unlikely, but slightly less so.) --Lkseitz 08:32, 30 November 2007 (PST)

    • It was in the original article that Dystopos put in. He probably got the info straight from the Zoo, I seem to recall him updating some articles on info directly from the BZA. But I'll let him talk for himself. --Wheresdib 08:55, 30 November 2007 (PST)
