We can barely believe it, but "little" Tuna is ready for release. Next week, she will return to Haida Gwaii, where she was originally rescued from. Good luck, Tuna & do us proud!
"Little" Tuna has grown a lot, and gained plenty of weight. She'll need it soon to survive in the wild while she perfects her hunting skills. For now, though, she's still figuring out how to compete for fish with other seal pups...
Tiny pup in a huge pool! Tuna has been "upgraded" to a pre-release pool where she's the only patient right now.
