Orphaned pup plucked from calf

Race against time has happy outcome

A baby seal who was left stranded after her mother died has been rescued, thanks to two local organisations.

The Manx Wildlife Trust and ManxSPCA teamed up to pluck the orphaned pup - who they've named 'Oracle' - from the Calf of Man.
