Animal rescues and rehabilitations reported in Paraná

In Maringá, volunteers from the NGO AMAAR rescued a rabbit from a busy avenue following an F2 category tornado. The animal was found in the middle of the road, facing the risk of being hit by vehicles. According to NGO member Karen Hatsuga, the rabbit suffered only minor abrasions on its paws and is in good health. The young animal is currently available for adoption.

In Matinhos, a female subantarctic sea lion pup was released back into the ocean after nearly two months of rehabilitation. The animal, which washed ashore in September, was treated by a multidisciplinary team from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) for respiratory and gastrointestinal issues. Following clinical recovery and hunting stimulation training, the pup will be monitored via satellite to track its movements along the coast.
