Default Arctic Seal Dies After Swimming to Florida

Wow. I am not sure what to make of this.

Arctic Seal Dies After Swimming to Fla.

"ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - An Arctic seal found in a Fort Lauderdale canal—far from its habitat near the North Pole—died Tuesday, a day after it was captured.

The bearded seal was thin and dehydrated, though it was not immediately known what killed the animal. Dr. Christopher Dold, a staff veterinarian at SeaWorld, said the park would examine it Tuesday to try to learn more.

However, Dold said it may never be known why the animal came so far south.

"It may continue to live on in a land of speculation as to why this happened," Dold said. "It's such an isolated event."

Rescuers used two nets to remove the 6-foot-long, 250-pound seal from a canal in a residential area Monday. It arrived at SeaWorld later that night.

"This is the first time we have had a bearded seal show up in Florida," said Kim Amendola, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokeswoman. She said their typical habitat is north of Newfoundland. "

Do they really have people that "administer" the Ocean and Atmosphere over there?

Not sure why they haven't figured out why it died, maybe the words " thin and dehydrated " are a clue. What do you think Dr C

I'll give your regards if I get "there" first. I trust you'll do the same for me.

Most certainly will my dear

Is Seaworld in Florida a 'nice' place? I mean if you owned a seal, would you send it there for a holiday? Would you go there for a holiday?

Florida is too hot and humid for me to "holiday" there but alot of people, and apparently seals, like it. If the poor thing had lived, it would have found out shortly after paying a hefty Seaworld/Disney admission price that it was probably too short to get on most of the rides

It just gets easier and easier doesn't it

Anyway what sort of ride would a bearded seal go on? Maybe it would just watch the people watching the seals?

I seal you watching me watching seal? Apologies to the Rogue Traders
