Orzo’s not the only harbor seal pup currently in care… meet Gnocchi and Macaroni!

Both pups are cases of maternal abandonment. In order to keep moms and pups together in the wild, please keep your distance from marine mammals resting on beaches and keep your pets on a leash.

🚨 Harbor seal pupping season has begun in Washington State 🚨

This pup came into care on Saturday from the outer coast after she was separated from her mom before she was able to survive on her own in the wild.

This is Kroshik or Shlissik from Marine Mammals Research and Conservation Centre in St. Petersburg, Russia! This looks like a training exercise to get them used to being wheeled around for medical or cleaning purposes
