After a period of intensive care and quarantine, along with some abnormal behavior that was later resolved, the sea lion began eating well with pen mates in a rehabilitation pool, the center said.
Bordeaux was released back into the wild on Wednesday at Chimney Rock in Point Reyes National Seashore, according to the center.
Young seals and sea lions that are separated from their mother too early face challenges in finding food due to underdeveloped foraging skills, which also can make them susceptible to additional health issues, the center said.
“We’re thankful to the Sunnyvale DPS for their partnership in the rescue of Bordeaux and helping give him a second chance,” said Marine Mammal Center associate veterinarian Dr. Dane Whitaker in a prepared statement. “After receiving over a month of specialized rehabilitative care and responding well to treatment, we’re excited that Bordeaux is back in his ocean home!”
The Marine Mammal Center reminded the public that if they see a marine mammal in distress to not intervene, keep a distance of at least 150 feet, and call the center’s at 415-289-SEAL (7325)
