Common Seal Pup Rescued which is rare in Guernsey

The GSPCA has taken in a rare to see in Guernsey, a common seal pup after it was rescued this afternoon on east coast.

The young pup was found between the Children's Bathing Pools and the site of the old Aquarium by GSPCA Head of Marine Mammals, Geoff George. Despite careful observation of the area, no mother was seen nearby and the decision was made to rescue the pup due to concerns for its welfare and weight.

Very poorly not so Common Seal Pup Rescued at Chouet now at the GSPCA

Yesterday GSPCA Ambulance Officer and Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George was called out to rescue and help a very poorly marine mammal at Chouet.

Only weeks after releasing Temperance the Grey Seal Pup back to the wild we now have a Common Seal Pup in our intensive care room for sick and injured seal pups.

Common Seals are extremely rare in Guernsey waters and to see a pup is even more so unusual, which certainly helps explain the condition of this very poorly pup.
