CWC's Youth Wildlife Rescue Blog invites young people to have fun and get involved with the work of California Wildlife Center whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, abandoned or sick native wildlife and marine mammals from the greater Los Angeles area. Come and get involved yourself or with your school and help our local wildlife. The Wildlife Center has taken in 19,000+ wild animals since its opening in 1998 and relies solely on public donations and grants. CWC is located in a quiet part of the Santa Monica mountains in Calabasas. Please visit our website at www.californiawildlifecenter.org for more information. We look forward to hearing from you on this blog!

Harbor Seal Pup Rescue



On June 20, 2009 the Marine Mammal Rescue Team had quite a busy day. This harbor seal pup was stranded on E. Sea Level Drive...he was thin and felt quite warm. Just like people, seals and sea lions can get a fever too. This little guy had a very high fever, so two of our rescue team members gave him a hose bath to cool him down before being transported to the Care Center in San Pedro. We saw him this week and he is doing so well, he will be released soon...

Snowy Egret Rescued



This juvenile Snowy Egret was brought to the California Wildlife Center on 6/20 with a right humeral fracture. He had two surgeries and got a very pretty pink wrap to aid in rehabilitation of the wing. The second photo shows him three weeks later, getting a little physical therapy in the hospital. Love the hairdo!
