Video footage shows the seal affectionately hugging and rolling around with the rubber ducks in his enclosure.
The New England Aquarium shared the footage, highlighting Reggae's new squeaky companions.
The rubber ducks were introduced as part of a training routine aimed at providing mental stimulation for Reggae.
