Patient Updates

Charleston was released after 60 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Charleston is learning how to perfect his fish eating skills while competing with other seals. He is just waiting to gain a little more weight before he is ready for release!

Charleston has made it into a pre-release pool! Not long now until he can be returned into the wild.
