This gray seal, nicknamed "Guinness," was admitted to the National Aquarium's Marine Animal Rescue Program after stranding on March 17, suffering from pneumonia, a respiratory infection, and a fractured jaw.

After much consideration and research, our veterinary staff decided that minor surgery to stabilize his lower jaw was necessary for the fracture to heal properly. The procedure was successful, and now MARP staff is preparing to release him back to the wild!
