01:01Russia: Rehab seals released back into the wild
Ten Baltic grey seals have successfully been released back into the wild on Wednesda after receiving treatment at a wildlife centre in St.Petersburg. The staff from the Emergency Ministry and the Pinnipedia Rehabilitation Centre freed the animals into the Gulf of Finland just off the coast of the Kurgalsky Reserve.
All the seals were given names, including one called Neva, so called since she was found in the river of that name that runs through Saint Petersburg.
Between March and April staff rescued seals from the shores of the Gulf of Finland and near Saint Petersburg on an almost daily basis. The main causes for the seals getting in to difficulties are oil and oil bi-product pollution and climate change.
