Baby Seal Walks A Mile To Calif. Animal Shelter
TRACY, Calif. (CBS) ―
It may not be a fish out of water, but it's close.
A baby seal is recovering after being found wandering the streets of a Northern California town, reports CBS station KOVR-TV in Sacramento, Calif.
The five-month-old Northern fur seal waddled about a mile from the Pacific Ocean and ended up at the front steps of the Tracy Animal Shelter in Tracy, about 60 miles east of Sacramento.
Animal control officers quickly corralled the feisty pup but it wasn't easy.
The pup is now at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.
Doctors say the seal is severely malnourished, but they are encouraged because he's already swimming and eating.
