“(Chantek) can talk about places he doesn’t see. He can talk about things that aren’t present. I can ask him to sign better and he will. ”
— Lyn Miles, trainer
Zoo officials have big plans for Chantek. Director Terry Maple and Miles envision a $1 million amphitheater where children could interact and talk with Chantek through glass, but not in a way that would make him a performing seal.
"I truly think this will be the most exciting exhibit in the world," Miles said.
