CHARLESTOWN, R.I. — A young male harp seal is back in the Atlantic more than a month after being found dehydrated in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
The 1- to 2-year-old seal, named “Dill” by his rescuers, underwent treatment at Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Clinic in Connecticut for dehydration and stomach parasites.
Workers there were able to get his weight up from 62 pounds to 75 pounds, allowing him to wobble back into the sea Thursday in front of a crowd at Blue Shutters Beach in Charleston.
