If you ever come across a seal on the beach, you should not touch it or go near it – it is better to stay away.
If you’ve spotted a baby seal alone on a beach – don’t panic. Seal pups are often left alone on the beach while their mums hunt for fish.
In fact, mums leave their pups to fully fend for themselves quite early on, when they’re as young as a month old – or younger.
Don’t try and coax the seal back into the water. They might get scared, injure themselves, or even bite.
If you are worried about a pup or a seal, watch from a safe distance and contact your local RSPCA centre.
