A baby seal that was found trapped in fishing net on a beach earlier this week was rescued by workers from Connecticut's Mystic Aquarium. The animal, who was saved on Earth Day, is believed to be between four and five months old.
On Earth Day, crews and first responders from Mystic Aquarium rescued a gray seal on Block Island. The seal, which was found alone on the beach, was entangled.
The seal was entangled in a pink gill net and nylon rope that caused deep cuts to its flippers when it tried to swim. It was taken to Mystic Aquarium for treatment.
