Wild Chronicles: Mediterranean Monk Seal Rescue

Seal breaking the surface of the water and diving downward. Caption: with less than 600 seals remaining in the wild.

Greece's Sporades Islands are home to Mediterranean monk seals, one of the most critically endangered species on Earth. When a pup washes ashore in a storm, a group of dedicated scientists spring into action to nurse the seal back to health. Healthy and strong, the growing seal is released back into the wild with a GIS transmitter to track her adaptation. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
