This year’s show will also show how agile and intelligent they are, whilst offering an education into the differences between sealions and seals.
Salt is the oldest of the pack at 27, whilst Bailey, Dom, Lara and Kyra are all below five.
On training them, keeper Lisa Ayres said: “It’s easy because they’re all quite young and keen to learn.
“Their attention span isn’t very long so you’ve got that to contend with but they’re great to work with.”
The sealions will perform three shows a day at midday, 2pm and 4pm from March 31.
