Pancho the elephant seal on a diet at Arlington park

Arlington special report says Pancho the 2,100 pound elephant seal at Seven Seas park is on a weight loss plan after holiday overindulgence. Trainer Larry Lawrence notes Pancho has shed about 50 pounds on a regimen of 50 pounds of mackerel daily plus vitamins. Show performance may suffer until he drops to 1,800 pounds, as visitors still tempt him with shark and squid snacks and the March 18 live show looms.
