Seal saved from bottom of cliff after freed from netting
  • 5 years ago
These dramatic pictures show a young grey seal being saved from the bottom of a cliff after rescuers freed him from netting caught round his neck. A team from Cornish Wildlife abseiled down a steep cliff to gain access to the remote spot where the seal was suffering. They managed to sneak up on the injured mammal and wrap him in a towel before cutting away the netting. Then, watched by an anxious crowd, they cleaned the deep wound around its neck and freed it back into the sea.
