Female Pacific harbor seal pup PV1608 was observed alone on a beach by fishermen in South Naknek, Alaska. She was left without interruption for the day in hopes the mother would return. When the fishermen returned to the area the following day she was still there and remained alone. PV1608 was admitted to Alaska SeaLife Center's Wildlife Response Program on June 23, 2016, and estimated to be four days old. She was examined by ASLC veterinarians and found to be underweight and suffering from an umbilical cord infection and head wounds. Under the watchful care and expertise of Wildlife Response Program staff, in less than a month PV1608 has responded well to antibiotics, is re-hydrating and gaining weight, and she is now swimming strongly. She has weaned off of harbor seal milk formula and is now attending fish school under the tutelage of ASLC animal care staff. In fish school she is not only tranisitioning to eating fish, but also to catching live fish as well. A skill vital to preparing her for future release back into the wild.
