Grey seals are born with a thick white pupcoat to keep them warm and dry. It doesn’t take long for them to shed most of it. You’re always pulling handfuls of what looks like golden retriever fur out the drain!
Serafina is an orphan pup, who came in with open wounds to her flippers and a bad eye. She is making a good recovery, and currently learning to eat by herself. She will be released when she is big enough!

When seals are injured/ill, on medication or not eating for themselves, they are inside in a cubicle. Once they are strong enough they are moved outside to an intermediate pool where they can build muscle, and then onto a big, deep pool with other seals, before being released
Grey seals have a huge variation of colours and patterns - I love how two the same age can look so different. These two are now grown and were released!
