The young seal rescued by Skerries Coast Guard volunteers last week has created a mystery. The Irish Seal Sanctuary are now caring for the seal, named “Mighty”, and have appealed for help from the public in tracing its origins. The seal had a large yellow tag on its flipper stating “Notify London Zoo”. However, London Zoo have stated that it knew nothing about the seal and did not use that type of animal tag.
