Hamburg: Walkers found a young seal on the Elbe beach in the middle of Hamburg. Because of the place where it was found in Övelgönne, the little howler was given the name Ove. The cub, apparently separated from its mother, seemed very weak and was caught by alarmed firefighters on Friday evening, the fire brigade announced on Saturday. The rescuers brought the animal to the Schwanenquartier in Hamburg-Eppendorf for care. There, numerous wild animals are cared for by swan father and district hunting master Olaf Nieß.
Howlers are young seals that are separated from their mother by a storm or other circumstances and then call for her. Seals from the North Sea keep getting lost in the Elbe and then reappear in Hamburg.
After the first assessment by Olaf Nieß, Ove appeared weak but apparently unharmed. Probably at the weekend “Kulleraugen-Ove” should start the journey to the seal sanctuary in Friedrichskoog in Schleswig-Holstein. There, the approximately six-week-old howler is to be nursed before he is released back into the North Sea.

Bearing sheep or breeds with short legs are mostly affected, as a spokeswoman for the rural people of Lower Saxony announced on Monday. It happens again and again that animals lie helplessly on their backs and need support. Laypersons should then grab the sheep’s fur and give it a shove. That saves the lives of the animals.
The sheep are used for coastal protection, they eat the grass on the dikes on Lower Saxony’s North Sea coast with the right bite depth and trample the scars with their hooves, as the spokeswoman said. The animals are outside almost all year round. However, walkers should never pet, tease or drive sheep off paved paths. Restlessness is not good for the animals.
