How Green Becomes Wood

"That is very cute, you'll have to take her to the dolphins next. We actually have a baby right now," The employee said, "And we have replica sea lion fur, jaw, and whiskers here, so there is a whole lot to feel!"

Dark tried to suggest to Ivy she go see Mama, but she could not be persuaded to look away.
 
"Wow! This is so cool!" Alec breathed, petting the pelt. "Amazing! If it's a replica, how did you make it?"

Xander came over and took a turn gently fiddling with the whiskers. "What happens if a sea lion died? Would you keep that pelt?"
 
"Honestly, I don't know how they're made," The employee admitted sheepishly, "The materials are just provided to me. I know the cast of the jaw just come from a real one, but I don't know how they replicate the fur and whiskers. Honestly, I don't even know if they actually feel accurate, because I've not been able to touch a real one, but I trust what the zoo provides. As for keeping the pelt, I guess... I don't know. There's probably some law about it, or something."
 
"That makes sense," Xander agreed. He gave the replica one last pat and stepped back. "Thanks."

"Thank you very much!" Alec chirped. "This is a cool thing to be able to interact with."
