Basil the recued seal pup has now been nursed back to health by the dedicated Animal Care Team Staff at the Gweek National Seal Sanctuary.and has over tripled his weight. Alongside the staff and other BDMLR Marine Mammal Medics…we watch the exciting moment of the seal’s release back into the wild to try their chances again to survive against the odds. Basil’s big moment is about to begin…..the seals dash down to the sea but Basil is unsure and hides under the National Seal Sanctuary Jeep.
Basil spots something interesting in the shallows.
Another released seal pup waits in the shallows and looks back at Basil….enticing him to join her.
The other seal is eventually enough to lure him out to sea
Who could blame the little seal pup with icicles hanging from the cliffs on the beach…but the draw of the beautiful shimmering blue water of North Cornwall’s Atlantic Ocean eventually attracts Basil to take the final plunge.
Basil finally heads out to sea!…
