Our Latest Rescue

Hello everyone! Here are some photos of our first rescued seal pup this year. We named him Amito which means a man who loves the sea. Amito is very friendly and we love him very much. He has a very strong bond with my Mum and suckles her hand just like he would suckle his own mother for milk, it is also an important part of the bonding process. In the wild he would be with his mother every day and swim on her back until able to swim on his own. He was either abandoned by his mother or his mother died, or he was swept away in a storm or by strong currents.

Amito has been very playful which is a good sign. He has been outside for short periods of time but he is not quite strong enough yet. He is fed at regular times and makes a ‘wooing’ noise when he is hungry or wants attention. He loves sitting on my Mum’s lap in the living room getting cuddles, he even watches the T.V!
