This is Tralee, the weak and injured baby seal, who refused to surrender. Moving slowly across the shore, the 4-to-6-month-old grey seal pup looked like she was in a lot of trouble.
Tired and injured, she dragged herself on the sand, and somehow even made it up a set of stairs in a desperate attempt to find assistance.
Luckily, her efforts were not in vain. Compassionate people at the beach saw Tralee’s difficult situation and knew they had to do something.
So, they quickly got in touch with Seal Rescue, an organization that helps animals in trouble. But when the rescuers got there, they saw a really sad sight.
Tralee was way too skinny for a seal pup her age. She had bugs all over her body, and she had a lot of cuts on her back flippers.
At the rescue place, Tralee got the help she really needed. They cleaned and treated her wounds, gave her medicine for the pain, and antibiotics to fight off any infection. Luckily, Tralee showed that she’s a tough little seal.
Her recovery has been amazing, and now that everyone sees her true personality, it’s no wonder she’s so popular.
As Tralee got better, her fun and curious side really started to show. The rescue center said she has a special charm and always leaves a little bit of magic wherever she goes.
Now, the main goal is to make sure she can go back to the ocean once she’s all better. Several donations helped ensure Tralee gets the best care possible until she’s ready to be released back into the wild where she belongs.
