Weaned and Cleaned is the seventh episode of the second season of the popular wildlife rescue show, Sea Rescue. The episode follows the heartwarming journey of two young California sea lion pups as they are rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild.
The episode begins with a call to the SeaWorld San Diego rescue team about a distressed sea lion pup who is found stranded on the beach. The team immediately springs into action and rushes to the scene to rescue the young animal. Upon their arrival, they discover that the pup is badly malnourished and in need of urgent medical attention.
The team takes the sea lion pup back to the San Diego SeaWorld rescue center where he is given a full medical examination and placed on a special diet to help him regain his strength and health. Over the next few weeks, the team provides round the clock care and attention to the young animal, monitoring his progress and ensuring that he is getting all the nutrients and care he needs to recover.
Meanwhile, at the SeaWorld park in Orlando, another California sea lion pup is in need of rescuing. This young pup was found stranded on the shore, tired, weak, and unable to fend for himself. The team at the Orlando SeaWorld park works diligently to nurse the animal back to health, providing him with plenty of nutritious food, medical attention, and a warm place to rest and recover.
As both sea lion pups begin to recover, they are gradually weaned off their special diets and learn to catch fish on their own. They are trained to swim and dive in the park's rehabilitation pools, where they gradually build up their strength and stamina.
Once the pups are strong enough, they are transported to the coast to be released back into the wild. Before their release, the team gives each animal a final medical check-up to ensure they are healthy and free from any ailments. The team also attaches special tags to each animal, which will allow them to be tracked and monitored once they are back in the wild.
Finally, the moment everyone has been waiting for arrives as the two healthy and happy young sea lion pups are released back into their natural habitat. The rescue teams watch with pride and joy as the animals make their way back into the ocean and begin their new lives as wild sea lions.
Overall, Weaned and Cleaned is a heartwarming episode that showcases the incredible work of the SeaWorld rescue teams. The episode highlights the meticulous care and attention given to each animal and the commitment of the team to ensure that every sea lion is given the best possible chance to recover and thrive in the wild.
