Abandoned Animal Testing Facility in Woods
This was a super unique abandoned discovery, an overgrown and forgotten animal testing facility that was formerly used for a zoology and marine biology program.

About This Abandoned Animal Testing Facility in Woods
This abandoned seal enclosure was once part of a zoology and marine biology program. In 1966 the seal tank, with one seal and one otter, was installed, ultimately expanding to house as many as 26 seals including Russian seals donated by the Soviet government, as well as dolphins.
The project was eventually cancelled due to the high cost of food, chemicals and labor, and shrinking grant support.
Now, the enclosure sits entirely abandoned, overgrown and fenced off but still slightly visible by the curious passers-by who walk the trails in the area.
