Elvis was rescued on 30th June 2019 Elvis, male common seal pup, was rescued on 30th June 2019 from Snettisham. He is lucky to be alive thanks to the correct and speedy response from a member of the public. Jo Allen, originally from Bedfordshire, was enjoying an early morning walk with her dog when she spotted a tiny Common Seal pup lying all alone at the top of Snettisham beach. With the tide out and clear blue skies it would have been hours before the pup received any respite from the heat. The tiny pup was very dehydrated, extremely thin and malnourished; weighing only 7.5kgs he was lighter than a typical healthy new-born common seal pup. He would almost certainly have perished if it he had been left on the beach. The weak and tired little seal was taken to the seal rescue hospital where further examinations were performed.
