The Mystic Aquarium is celebrating a life-saving surgery on a seal named Bristol, who was cleared to return to her habitat this week after months of healing.

Bristol underwent surgery in Mystic Aquarium's surgical suite, which is not far from Bristol's habitat. She stayed indoors for months, healing, and returned to her habitat Tuesday.

"She's just about completely healed, eating well, doing all of her behaviors well," said Jen Rock, who has been Bristol's trainer for the last eight years. Bristol was transferred to Mystic Aquarium's Animal Rescue Program in 2013 after she was found stranded in Maine. Because of chronic eye and ear issues, she has lived at the aquarium ever since."It's so joyful for everyone involved to be able to save this animal's life and get her back to full health," said Dr. Martony.
