Ray the famous seal celebrates his 18th Birthday
|
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary celebrated one of their most popular resident seals 18th birthday in style with a pool party and the launch of a dedicated beer honouring Ray´s special milestone in 15th October 2019.
Ray was rescued from Widemouth bay in October 2001, at approximately 3 weeks of age. He was malnourished and found at the top end of the beach, as far away from the water as possible, with his nose pressed up against the side of a rock face.

After being rescued, tests revealed he suffers from brain damage and must be on permanent medication, so will have a forever home at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary.
His injuries mean he displays behaviour which is different from other seals. He is extremely friendly and playful, and he is so popular he even has his own Facebook page which is kept updated with all of his shenanigans for his 4,000 followers to enjoy!

The staff made Ray a very special fishy birthday cake and share some toys with his pool partners.
He had the best time celebrating his 18th birthday (as did the team!).
