Gray Seal Born In Captivity

BIARRITZ, France -- A French aquarium is welcoming its newest resident -- a baby gray seal.

The baby seal, born at the Biarritz Sea Museum, is one of only a handful to be born in captivity.

The gray seal is typically found off the coast of England and is one of the Sea Museum's favorite attractions.

Officials at the aquarium are keeping a close eye on the new pup, and will give more information about the baby seal as it continues to mature.
