Mystery orphan washes up in Ireland
A mysterious stranger has been found washed up and starving on the Irish coast. The little grey seal was found in Skerries, north County Dublin, and brought to the Irish Seal Sanctuary suffering from starvation. The animal was wearing a tag which asked the finder to contact London Zoo.
But London Zoo said it knows nothing about the little grey seal. The Irish Seal Sanctuary (ISS) said the tag was not suitable for the little seal and made it difficult for the animal to swim. This may have resulted in the seal starving.
The tag has been removed to allow the seal's flipper to heal. Volunteers at the ISS have sent a call to all the rehabilitation sanctuaries in the UK and Europe. They want to find their little orphan's real home.
