Seal pup 'Muse' returns to wild after Pembrokeshire rescue

A grey seal pup who was found dehydrated and underweight at St Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire - following a long 120km journey in the wild from Cornwall in four days - has been released back into the wild.
Affectionately named Muse [after the Devon rock band that hail from Teignmouth] - the seal pup has been cared for by staff at RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Taunton, Somerset, for the past few months.
After his rehabilitation he now weighs 41.5kg - nearly tripling in size since he was rescued back in December in Pembrokeshire, after concerns were raised about his health four days earlier when he was spotted in Cornwall.
Muse was released at a location in Devon on Wednesday, April 8 and a video shows him racing down to the water’s edge when he was released from his carrier.
He was released alongside five other seals - who were rescued by British Divers Marine Life Rescue - Jimi Hendrix, Lewis Capaldi, Run DMC, Kate Nash and Oxford Comma (with singers and bands being this year’s theme at the centre).
