Harbor seal appears to be shark-bitten in Myrtle Beach
MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WPDE) — A small harbor seal has washed ashore in Myrtle Beach.
Around 11, Myrtle Beach police were called to the shoreline near 31st Avenue North.
The South Carolina Dept. of Natural Resources says they’ve been called in to assist Myrtle Beach Police, as they’re the wildlife experts.
Kaley Lawrimore, SCDNR spokesperson, says it appears it’s a small grey seal, though NOAA says the animal is, in fact, a harbor seal.
“It looks like a shark bite to the flipper,” Lawrimore said.
The seal is alive and otherwise active.
