Baby seal swims thousands of miles to Portugal http://news.scotsman.com/latest_odd.cfm?id=1062022006 LISBON (Reuters) - A baby seal has been found near a beach south of Lisbon on Friday, after it swam thousands of miles from the north-Atlantic in search for food. "The two-month old seal must have jumped in the ocean somewhere in Canada or Greenland to look for food and got lost," said Elio Vicente, who is treating the seal at Zoomarine, a water theme park in the south of Portugal. The hooded seal, named after its large elastic nasal cavity, suffered minor injuries from the trip and should be sent back to the cold waters of the north-Atlantic as soon as she recovers, Vicente said. |
