Three seal pups have survived an "incredible journey" 350 miles across the North Sea after being swept away from the Farne Islands in stormy weather. They were around 14 or 15 days old when they were found in The Netherlands. It was known that seal pups could swim at an early age, but 350-mile is incredible. All three are being cared for in a seal rescue centre in The Netherlands and when they gained enough weight they will be released back into the wild, potentially to the Farne Islands.
At first, it’s very special that these three seal pups survived an incredible journey across the North Sea. I never thought seal pups could swim such incredible distance at a young age. Second, it’s good that these pups are being cared of until they recovered. I agree with the release of these pups at their natural habitat, but releasing them in The Netherlands wouldn’t be wrong either. The Wadden Sea is habited by Grey Seals too and they are very independent animals. So, actually it doesn’t matter if they are released at the Farne Islands or Wadden Sea.
