Seal pups spend most of their time out of water as they’re not quite ready to go into our cold seas from birth. They need a little time to grow before they do. An adult on land is nothing to worry about either. Adult seals spend a lot of time on land to rest, digest and socialise all year round.
If you do find a seal or seal pup that is injured, please take the following steps:
- First of all, stay calm.
- Keep away from the seal - do not touch it or feed it
- Telephone British Divers Marine Life Rescue on 01825 765 546 giving an accurate location.
