"Mr. Magoo" is adapting to his new surroundings at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. The blind, male seal pup was found, starving and abandoned, on a Vancouver Island beach near Courtenay last month. Rescue centre staff nicknamed it "Mr. Magoo" after the nearsighted cartoon character. Rescue centre manager Lindsaye Akhurst says the blind seal pup will end up in an accredited aquarium or zoo if it can not be released back into the wild. Nearly all the animals rescued and rehabilitated at the centre are released back into the wild.
