Cortana, female common seal pup, was rescued on 8th June 2016 from King´s Lynn docks after being born earlier that day and separated from her mum.
Sometimes young mums do not always bond with their pups but the pup is now in good hands in the rescue hospital and is doing very well.

Update - 20th June 2016 : Cortana is just starting to hand feed and the Animal Care Team are sure she will learn quickly and be in the intermediate pool with another rescued pup named Mario very soon. Rescued at 10.75kgs she now weighs 12.7kgs!

Update - 24th June 2016 : Cortana is hand feeding well now but needs a little encouragement sometimes. She loved her daily swimming times though as the Animal Care Team are sure she will be catching fish for herself in no time!
