This pup was transferred to the BDMLR´s seal hospital in Cornwall for initial treatment and care until a pen was available for her at the Sanctuary´s hospital at Gweek on the 25th of March 2024 where she will continue her rehabilitation journey.
Update - 25th March 2024 : It will not be too long before Margot will be moved down to the outside nursery pools for her final stage of rehabilitation and to learn how to compete for fish during feeding time. These photos of Margot were taken on the 25th of March 2024 in the hospital pen number 4.

Update - 14th April 2024 : As you can see Margot has graduated to one of the outside nursery pools, but is still on her own as she is still quite small. She´s a very curious little pup and enjoys playing with the guests at the window and watching the cheeky seagulls trying to steal her fish! Her flipper tag ID number is SL298 (yellow).

Update - 16th May 2024 : The weather conditions in Cornwall were perfect to release some of the seal pups who had been staying at the Sanctuary for the past few months were released back into the wild on the 9th of May 2024 at Perranuthnoe beach in South Cornwall.
Margot Robbie, along with Raven Symone, Lough Eske and Emma Stone, were all at a good weight and fully recovered thanks to the care and expertise of the brilliant Animal Care Team. It is such an amazing feeling for the team to see them happily "galumphing" back home. Good luck little ones.
