Prematurely born harbour seal Zeus is rescued in British Columbia
- A prematurely born harbour seal pup named Zeus was rescued alone on the shores of White Rock, British Columbia, on May 27, 2025.
- Zeus was discovered cold, undernourished, and still attached to parts of his umbilical cord, suggesting he was probably only one or two days old.
- Zeus weighed about seven kilograms, less than the usual ten kilograms for a healthy full-term pup, and was covered in lanugo fur that normally sheds before birth.
- Lindsaye Akhurst, who oversees the Marine Mammal Rescue Society at the Vancouver Aquarium, explained that Zeus is receiving specialized care, including being fed six times daily to help stabilize his glucose levels.
- Zeus will remain at the rescue centre for two to three months, but it is too soon to know if he will be releasable into the wild.
