PHOTOS: Tiny fur seal pup rescued by Vancouver Aquarium

This is Mo. She’s a seven-month-old northern fur seal pup who is getting some much-needed TLC thanks to the Vancouver Aquarium.

The tiny and adorable seal pup was rescued off Hardwicke Island, north of Campbell River, last Monday (Jan. 28).

“She arrived at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre after being observed swimming irregularly and unable to dive. Dehydrated and severely underweight, Mo is in critical condition and undergoing examinations and tube feedings until she’s further stabilized,” explains the Vancouver Aquarium.

Check out a few more images of Mo’s first hours being cared for.
