The Mallydams team shared a heartwarming video on\u00a0 Instagram<\/a>\u00a0that captured the moment Mousetrap regained his freedom as he was returned to the wild.\u00a0<\/p>

“Watching a seal pup you\u2019ve nurtured back to health take its first splash of freedom is pure magic,\u201d says Peter\u00a0Smith, Mallydams Wood Centre Manager.<\/p>
“It\u2019s a mix of pride, relief and awe as they dive into the waves, ready to embrace the life they were meant for. Knowing you\u2019ve given them a second chance is the most rewarding feeling in the world.\u201d<\/p>
If you\u2019ve seen a seal and are worried that it might need help, the RSPCA advises watching from a distance before calling for\u00a0 help<\/a>. Never approach a wild seal as they can be dangerous.<\/p>
