Lassie arrived on 24th June 2009
|
Lassie, a female common seal, was rescued on 24th June 2009 from Heacham beach. She weighed 11kg upon arrival and was approximately 1-2 weeks old. She was found on her own with no sign of her mum.
Lassie is quite a boisterous little seal, who doesn't like us to get too close, she tries to bite and scratch the animal care team when they take her temperature.

 | Lassie has been weaned off milk but has not learnt how to feed on fish yet - we are still having to force feed her!!
Hopefully within the next few weeks she will learn to feed for herself.
