Petting Zoo: Adventurous Seal Explores Maine

Season 53 Episode 23 | 2m 07s

A young gray seal was spotted, exploring the streets of Cape Elizabeth in Maine during a winter storm. The young seal was far from home, hungry and dehydrated after venturing out on his own away from his mom. Fortunately, Linda Doughty, founder of Marine Mammals of Maine, took the young gray seal into her care, rehabilitating him back to full health.
