Northern Fur Seal Mo (2019)

Almost two years ago, we rescued Mo, a young northern fur seal. She had failed to thrive and needed a little time to get back on her flippers before being released a few months later.

Wow.. I never realized until now just how similar seal and sloth faces look alike. Sweet little odd-looking cutie-pie is all I can say.

Sweet little baby Mo. I'm so glad she was one of your many happy success stories ❤️

She was so tiny! Though pretty feisty, it looked like she was plotting an escape a couple of times.

What a sleepy baby! 🤭❤️

[@mrbearbeard]

Such a cute tiny baby.. No momma poor boo boo

[@MarineMammalRescue]

Oh this one isn't a baby anymore, and she had been living independently for a while before she was rescued. Seals and sea lions (and fur seals) don't spend that much time with their moms, they have to learn quickly how to survive on their own :)

[@dianelindsay4695]

He is adorable. Thankyou to all of the folks taking care of him.

[@LloyettaJEwing]

She is absolutely beautiful. Wondering if their fur is soft.

[@Woug]

Their coats have 300,000 hairs per square inch - I reckon they out-soft a kitten 😍

[@LloyettaJEwing]

@@Woug With the much hair per square inch they would be softer than a cat.

[@Robotneonunicorn]

Seal fur is very very soft!

OK... There's NO WAY this was real... If it where they would have all died from lack of oxygen because who in the world could stop themselves from kissing the boop out of this sea fluffy! 😍

[@MarineMammalRescue]

She was rescued on her own, as the only fur seal pup that year. She was quite alright on her own and has long since been released.

[@nieserr23]

She is beautiful and that's good that she was released. I watched this about 10 times I was crying happy tears she was so small and adorable

No, the satellite tracker's batteries don't last that long. But you can still see her last position: tracking.ocean.org/patients/mo/

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

why is she alone..everyone needs company

[@MarineMammalRescue]

She was the only fur seal we rescued that year and she was fine on her own, as she would be in the wild, for some time. Northern fur seals are pelagic (live in the open ocean), and are quite solitary at sea, away from the rookeries. So solitude probably wasn't a big issue for her. If anything, she wasn't a huge fan of company at any time during her stay with us. Great news, as that made it easy to release her a few months later.

[@NekoMikoYe]

Smol boi

[@REPULSlVECONVULSIVE]

girl

[@zoeclearwater]

You might want to change the info section a bit. It almost makes it seem the seal died. When you write failed to thrive and that’s it 🥺

[@REPULSlVECONVULSIVE]

I agree! needs to be updated that she was set free :D

[@MarineMammalRescue]

"Failure to thrive" was her diagnoses, the reason for her admission to the rescue centre. The description contains a link to her story. We've made that clear in the description now :)
