Tutti Frutti was released after 67 days in our care.
"Tutti Frutti took his time getting to the water, slowly following his friends. He was still seen with one other pup when we left the site, diving close to shore, and making an attempt to "climb" up a rock to haul out."
You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.
We rescue, rehabilitate and release 100-150 animals like Tutti Frutti every year. You can support our important mission by symbolically adopting Tutti Frutti today with a small donation to the rescue centre.
