Another success case released after just over two months of care at AMWRRO’s Rehabilitation Facility on Torrens Island.
Elmo our bouncing baby Southern Elephant seal was released on the 10th May 2013 at 8am in the States Lower Southeast district after receiving treatment that surly saved his life.
His initial weight was 55kg and after two months of care Elmo weighed in at a staggering 90kg plus on release – gaining over 35kg in only 9 weeks.
Special thanks to all those AMWRRO volunteers that assisted with his rescue, rehabilitation and release. Flippers crossed he will be making his way back to his home island and lives a long safe life where he belongs.
