Baby Harbor Seal Rescue

Last weekend, Newsday had a story about a baby harbor seal that was sick and possibly lost. Like many a Manhattanite at 1AM, the male pup was stranded in Brooklyn. The Riverhead Foundation took him in, after making sure he was really lost and/or abandoned by his mother, versus "just sunning himself as he waited for his mother." The six week old seal was responding to initial treatment, but Gothamist would love Newsday to update the story. In the meantime, we're adopting a seal.

Also check out the gallery for the baby seal. It's heartbreakingly adorable.
