After a few months of rehabilitation the Cornish Seal Sanctuary are delighted to share that Hot Cross Bun has been released back into the wild alongside his pool mate, Churro, on the 10th of June 2026!
From arriving at the Sanctuary as a vulnerable pup entangled in fishing netting, to growing stronger every day, Hot Cross Bun and the team, have worked hard to reach this milestone. Watching pups like him return to the ocean is always a special moment for the team.
Their release also marks the end of another busy pup season at the Sanctuary. We would like to thank everyone who has supported our rescue, rehabilitation and release work over the past few months!
Good luck and safe travels to Hot Cross Bun and Churro, the last rescue pups of the 2025/26 season!
During the release the animal care team were assisted by British Divers Marine Life Rescue marine mammal medic volunteers.
Many of the pups were first responded to by British Divers Marine Life Rescue´s dedicated network of volunteers, who give up their own time to answer callouts, assist with rescues, and provide vital care for the animals in the critical days before they arrive at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. This collaboration between the two organisations ensures that more animals can be reached quickly and given the best possible chance of survival.
