About this record
- Supporting evidence
- https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-aquarium-rescues-seal-pup-howe-sound — The article identifies 23 May and says the pup was observed throughout Wednesday, before rescue. Its displayed 25 May publication timestamp disagrees with 'yesterday'; Wednesday was 23 May 2018. Porteau Cove was a transport stop.
