SeaWorld rescues, rehabilitates and returns Harbor seal to ocean


A harbor seal with the most severe neck wound that SeaWorld's rescue team had ever seen was returned to the ocean after undergoing rehabilitation at the San Diego theme park. The female seal was rescued from the La Jolla Children's Pool on June 29. A gill net embedded into the animal's neck was only centimeters from her vertebrae, according to Eric Otjen, SeaWorld's assistant curator of mammals.
