Her pool mates have gone 0-3, so Polly gets the call this year to make the harbor seals’ pick in Super Bowl XLIX.
Come see Polly leap straight out of the water and touch a suspended yellow ball with her nose.
This Thursday, Jan. 29 at 11:45 a.m., during the Aquarium’s first public seal feeding, Polly will be given a choice of suspended pennants representing the New England Patriots & Seattle Seahawks. Two out of three will determine her choice.
NOTE: both yellow balls will be measured in advance to ensure that they are not under-inflated.
To date, the Aquarium’s seals are 0-3 in their picks. (Rasal the seal picked New England two years ago. Orange the seal chose the 49ers in 2013 and the Broncos in 2014.)
