‘Santos,’ the baby seal found in Redwood City parking garage, released back into ocean

POINT REYES (KRON) — The baby seal found in a Redwood City parking garage last month is heading back to his natural habitat — the ocean!

After being found in the parking garage on Nov. 24, the Sausalito-based Marine Mammal Center treated the seal pup for malnutrition and maternal separation.

Once he arrived at the mammal center after his rescue, ‘Santos’ began eating and was treated to a fish smoothie.

‘Santos,’ along with five other seal pups, were released into the ocean Thursday at Point Reyes National Seashore.

Video shows the seal pup scampering back into the water.
