Not sure but this looks a lot like the Marine Mammal Center in Northern California. It’s basically a hospital that’s open to the public for educational (and donation) purposes.

There is a viewing deck above and good distance back from the pens where visitors can watch the animals get care and chill between vet visits.

The really sick critters are kept in a private area where they won’t be disturbed by anything.

The seal pens are medium security:

Otter Super Max (intensive care):

Our specialized otter tote, which is a dedicated area used to provide more intensive care for sick and injured sea otters. With a pool and dry haul-out area, our animal care experts can adjust the water temperature, water level and air temperature of the otter tote based on where an individual patient is in its recovery. This innovative rehabilitation tool helps reduce the risk of sea otter patients developing hypothermia and provides a safe space for them to groom and heal while their coat is compromised.

Not that you asked, but I’ve been learning to shoot with a fancy camera and here are some pictures of the moon I took.

For those who don’t get the joke:

Sally Ride, first female NASA astronaut to go to space: "I remember the engineers trying to decide how many tampons should fly on a one-week flight; they asked, “Is 100 the right number?”

“No. That would not be the right number.”

Same.

Huh. I didn’t realize tapeworms could travel outside the digestive tract. Apparently it’s much more common with “pork tapeworm” and this poor guy is thought to have gotten in this situation by eating undercooked pork.
