呆萌小海豹被放生不肯出籠　2度「回頭道別」終於返回海中

@sr3sealife Not everyone who comes to the hospital has an extended stay with us. Some just get a quick checkup before they are returned to the wild, like this #seal who was showing unusual behavior on a busy beach. We gave her a health assessment and it was determined she was healthy enough to remain in the wild. This release footage was captured by a nearby viewer, who provided some fantastic commentary. #sealife #marinemammals #wildliferehab #wildlifehospital ♬ original sound - SR3

美國海洋生物保育團體SR3日前在海邊進行野放工作，2名工作人員不但小心翼翼地打開籠子，還用了擋板擋住籠子2側，彷彿要放出十分兇猛或有危險性的動物。只是沒想到下一刻從籠子裡出來的竟然是隻呆萌可愛的小海豹，還分別回頭看了看2名工作人員，彷彿在跟他們告別，最後才慢慢爬回海中遊走。

畫面中可以看見，籠子門剛打開時小海豹還不肯出來，直到籠子被傾斜才慢慢爬出來，還回頭分別看了看2名工作人員，最後才慢慢爬行到岸邊，順利返回大自然。SR3組織也解釋，「這隻小海豹先前在海灘上有出現不尋常的行為，被帶回獸醫院評估過後，確認健康沒有問題，足以在野外生存，才又被放回去。」
