Orphan Baby Seal

This baby seal became an orphan after a late summer storm made her lost her mommy. In such case it often happens that a baby seal strands on one of the many sandbanks. Most of them do not survive unless they are lucky enough to be found by friendly humans. Lenie was lucky enough to end up in Ecomara, a seal sanctuary on the Dutch island of Texel. When she grows up she will be released again for a hopefully more lucky rest of her life!
