Rehabilitated!

Yesterday's photo shows an abandoned spotted seal pup. He was rescued, taken to the SeaLife Center in Seward and subsequently named "Copper." The photo above shows Copper three months and two surgeries later.

In the photo he is again on the Naknek beach, in the process of being released with another rescued seal. He is wearing a radio collar, for tracking purposes. The last tracking report showed he was in Egegik. Another update is due at the end of this month (Oct. 2007). You can follow his progress by going to http://www.alaskasealife.org Then follow the "rehab" links. A quicker way is to go directly to Copper's page if it works with your web browser.
