SAUSALITO, Calif. (KGO) -- A seal pup found near death on Wednesday is getting a third chance at life.

The 7-month-old northern fur seal pup recovering and happily feasting on fish at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.

Marine mammal experts are taking care of a baby seal that was found very far from home.

Pipester had lost half his weight when he was found Wednesday.

He will be fattened up again and released back into the ocean.

The hope is he will find his way north where there is plenty of fish to eat.
