Baby Seals Named After Celebrities Set Free On The Beach

SANDWICH, MA — A pair of harbor seal pups named after celebrities have been rehabilitated and set free on a Massachusetts beach after being rescued in Maine earlier this year.

"Giseal Bündchen" and "Sealonardo DiCaprio" were released Tuesday on Scusset Beach on Cape Cod by workers at the nonprofit National Marine Life Center. The video below shows the seals making their way toward the water after being set free from their cages.

Giseal, named after supermodel Gisele Bündchen, was taken to the rehabilitation center on Buzzards Bay after she was found abandoned by her mother on Chebaugue Island, Maine, in June. Sealonardo, named after Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, also was rescued in Maine, on Great Spruce Head Island, in May.

The pups were taught to swim and eat fish. Watch the full video, below:
