The spotted seal story has a very happy ending. 

To the expedition team's excitement, they found more seals and cubs this year than before, which means the species is recovering in the wild. 

With the help of nursing staff in the aquarium, the baby grows up healthy. And a better news is – the female Xinya has been released to the ocean with her family.
