After spending two months in veterinary care for a gunshot wound to the eye, an adult male harbor seal makes his exit from a kennel to begin the journey back to the water from Blue Shutters Town Beach in Charlestown. The adult male sea, found stranded at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Conn., in July, has been under the care of the Mystic Aquarium veterinary staff. The seal will never have use of its left eye because of the wound. But it will still be able to hunt and survive in the wild despite its handicap, the aquarium said.
