Eco watch: Watch This Adorable Seal Return to the Sea After 5 Months of Rehab
On Nov. 21, Seal Rescue Ireland — Ireland’s only seal rescue center — found five to six week old Sesame underweight at only 13 kilos with deep lacerations all over her body. Waves from big storms had likely thrown her against the rocks when she was less than 2 months old. Today she’s at a healthy weight of 42 kilos and ready to return home.
“It’s really encouraging to see her take straight to the waves,” said Sam Brittain, animal care manager. “The last time she was in the sea was probably a bit of a traumatic experience for her.”
