This marks the first seal to be healing with the program since it resumed operation in November.
The aquarium said the young seal was found on the shores of Mason’s Island in Stonington, Connecticut on Saturday.
Officials with the aquarium believe that due to human and canine activity on the beach, the seal pup’s mother was scared away and never returned.

The seal pup has a white coat, which is referred to as lanugo. This is the coat of fur that baby grey seals have at birth and infancy, which means his mother gave birth recently.
