A WEST Fife visitor attraction has re-opened its seal enclosure following major refurbishments.
Deep Sea World in North Queensferry has transformed Seal Rock to enhance the habitat and welfare of the harbour seals in their care.
The enclosure now boasts state-of-the-art facilities that provide a closer look at these marine mammals and their natural behaviours.
After the re-opening on Monday, visitors can now be reunited with Cody and Benji and new arrivals Marvolo and Sofus who come from sister aquarium - Tynemouth Aquarium.

Michael Morris, curator at Deep Sea World, said: "We are thrilled to enter this new era of our Seal Rock and we are even more thrilled to share it with you all."
Adrian Duffey, park director, commented: “The harbour seals at Deep Sea World have always been a popular part of the visit experience. Originally built in 2005 the seal pools were ready for a transformation.

“In creating Seal Rock our resident seals have a bigger, deeper and more natural, feature-enriched space, with state-of-the-art water quality systems.
“We believe that the attraction will continue to thrill and delight our visitors and assist us in educating the public about the harbour seal and the conservation of the Scottish marine environments in which it is found.”
