Pacific Harbor Seal
Phoca vitulina

In a tough spot

May, 18th 2024

Kayakers found a premature harbor seal pup on the beach. The skinny pup would not survive on its own, but challenging conditions prevented boat access that would be needed to rescue her.

Saved!

May, 21st 2024

The seal pup was spotted again, and she was still alive! Luckily, she was able to get a boat ride across the bay to safety. This little girl arrived at ASLC last night. She is in critical condition, and is now receiving intensive care.

The seal pup has lost all of her lanugo - the fuzzy white fur coat that is normally lost in utero. She is slowly gaining strength, and has started putting on some weight.
