MYSTIC, Conn. -- Mystic Aquarium officials say they have rescued a newborn harbor seal pup off the coast of Rhode Island. It is the aquarium's first pup rescue of the season. The female pup was discovered Thursday in North Kingstown, and is believed to be less than 3 days old. It had the umbilical cord still attached and weighed about 17 pounds. Aquarium officials say because of its young age, the pup will be closely monitored. -- The Associated Press
