Dean,

You should contact Tonya Wimmer to see if anyone is interested in samples or 
the entire seal.

I provide seal material to the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John or the 
Atlantic Veterinary College in PEI - neither of which are close to you.  It 
is also a challenge for me to get them there but I opt for freezing until it 
can be delivered. The most recent dead seal I delivered to the NBM was a 
pregnant female about 5' in length as well and weighing in at 118kg or 
260lbs! including the 6kg or 13lb fetus, needless to say it took up much of 
the freezer.  I knew the seal was heavy when we lugged her up the beach.

> Discovered a dead seal on Daniel's Head Beach, CSI, this morning.
> A little over 5ft. in length, beautiful shiney gold coat. No visible 
> injuries.
> Counted 9 more just off the beach on the "Brant Ledges".
> This is the second one in this area in less than a year. The one last year 
> was small, only a little better than 2ft. I collected the jaw-bone from 
> that one.
> Does anyone out there know if you can turn these in to be studied 
> anywhere? Like years ago.
> I might collect the latest one too.
