Injured Baby Seal Released Back Into The Wild

An injured seal pup that was taken in for rehabilitation by the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon, was released back in to the wild on January 24.

In a video posted to the aquarium’s Facebook, the young northern fur seal is released from a cage on the beach and makes his way back in to the ocean. The seal was found in an RV parking lot, entangled in a plastic string that aquarium officials believe likely came from a balloon or packaging material. As of writing, the video had over 23,000 views on Facebook. Credit: Oregon Coast Aquarium via Storyful
