this little fella needs to be my pet... Shrimp,water in my bathtub and LOTs of loving and fuzzy blankets...and we are good to go; better than being in the wild lol
Wow this way a really good video, I'm so happy that you guys rescued him , he/she was the cutest thing ever. I definitely agree there should be more people like you. The girl who's talking is so cute and nice :) GReAt vIdEo
2:23 the seal is like: what wait let me lay back down I am tired oh wait thats freezing cold towels really? just let me sleep oh really ice and sleep and more ice
UPDATE: Port will be making his Discovery Channel Debut the evening of December 19th. The show's name is Raw Alaska, and is a compilation of events captured on home video in Alaska. Check your local listings for exact times, should be somewhere between 5 and 9 pm depending on your location. A clip of Port is also to appear in an upcoming episode of "When Vacations Attack" (we all know Port would never attack anyone) on the Travel Channel.
You did a very heroic thing for this magnificent creature, it warms my heart seeing animals and humans getting along :) btw what was the name of the song at the very start of the video?
Sorry for the delay in posting, had some technical difficulties with the camera, but the release is now posted under the title "Alaska Seal Pup Release"
Enjoy and thanks for all the comments, it was an awesome experience.
The vast majority of human beings would help an animal in need. Although there are some who simply have clubbed this poor animal, there are far more people who would help it. So we should be happy there are way more of our own kind who would help rather than hurt.
It doesn't change the fact there are those who kill these animals for profit or "business", but we can't rag on *people* in general for hurting these seals because the vast majority are helpful, kind people.
I'm anxious to see the release video - you referenced editing the video - I thought perhaps that's what you meant. I couldn't find anything on the Alaska Sealife website. Thanks!! ~ Nancy I'm so happy for Port!! :)
UPDATE: Port and his friend Bleu were released back to the wild this past Saturday. He looked fat and happy and was released with another seal Bleu. Beautiful day and wonderful ending to the summer. I will edit up the video and post it soon.
Also, this story may be featured in an upcoming Discovery Channel show on Alaska, I'll post more info when I get it!
LATEST UPDATE: July 13th - from Alaska Sea Life website: Port continues to be fish schooled, but he seems more interested in sucking on the side of his tote than anything else.
Here’s the latest update at the Alaska Sea Life website - 7-9-11: Port is back to normal, and seems to be feeling better. Another round of fish school started today. Maybe this will be Port's lucky week!
Here’s the latest update at the Alaska Sea Life website - 7-2-11: Port doesn't understand that fish are food. He's still being tube-fed fish formula, until he can figure it out.
UPDATE: Port had a routine vet exam and is doing well but he hasn't developed an interest for chasing fish yet. It's a big change from being fed by a feeding tube so it may take a while. He has gained about 3 lbs since arriving at the Sealife Center.
UPDATE: We named the seal pup "Port" to keep with the Alaska Sealife Center's "Wine and Cheese" theme for 2011. He has gained some weight and shifted to a fish formula diet. He's now strong enough to swim and can stay outside during the day, not enough blubber to spend the whole night outside though. This week he got to try chasing live fish for the first time. They think he will be able to be released in August.
@SUPAlaska ~ The latest entry for Port on the Alaska Sea Life website is 6/24: “Today was Port’s first day of fish school! He chased live fish for a while before losing interest.” To see updates, go to alaskasealife site and search seal rescue, then click "current patients". I'm so happy for Port!
UPDATE: Port has finally started eating fish and now just has to gain some weight before being released back to the wild. He's now in the pre-release pool competing with the other seals to catch live fish. They plan to release him in mid to late September
how come you couldnt hold him? the seal looks really scared and wants some love. is that what was told to you guys until someone came out there?
