Baby seal takes wrong turn and ends up in back garden four miles from sea
"We think that possibly he may have travelled up a drainage system and that's how he ended up where he was, but the water system only literally had two inches of water in it, so this poor pup must have just kept trying to travel further and further down in the hope of finding water or food," she said.
"He was an incredibly feisty little fella and it took all my strength to catch and rescue him, but it would have been his spirit and fight for life, that would have kept him alive during his ordeal."
She said the pup could have died of starvation but he is now recovering at an RSPCA centre.
海から6キロも離れたところにある民家の庭でアザラシが見つかったとの通報をうけて半信半疑でむかったろころ、本当だったという話。
赤ちゃんアザラシは生まれて三週間くらいで、食べ物をもとめてさまよっているうちに排水溝などを通ってここまでたどり着いてしまったのではないかとのこと。
