| Spencer (the painter) arrived on 20th November 2007 |
| Spencer arrived at the Sanctuary on the 20th of November 2007 after being found in a roadside ditch at Huna. It was obvious from his state that he needed some help. He was picked up by British Divers Marine Life Rescue and they transported him down to us here at the Sanctuary. Upon arrival Spencer was examined and was found to have a few bite marks on him. He was also malnourished and dehydrated. Spencer is approximately 2-3 weeks old and has already lost his white coat. He weighs 14kg and is a very easy pup to look after; he is already taking fish from hand!
Hospital Update - December 2007 : Spencer is now the first of our grey seals to be moved into the main pools. He now weighs over 20kg and is learning what it is like to compete against the other pups. At the moment he is still trying to get the hang of this and will often haul out and attempt to climb staff to get their attention for food. Over the next few days he will learn that this is not the way to do it and will start to remain in the pool to get fed. |
 | Update: 15th February 2008 - These photos of Spencer were taken earlier today in the outdoor seal encounters' pool. He currently weighs 36kg. Spencer's yellow flipper tag number is 108. | 
|
| Update: March/April 2008 - Spencer is having no trouble at all in the outside pools, he always gets his fair share of fish and sometimes steals other seals share as well. His current weight is 40kg. |
| Update: 5th May 2008 - Spencer was released back into the wild on the 29th of April 2008 along with Penny, Archie and Knobby. Greys being greys didn´t take long to get the message and disappear into the great beyond. |
