A US man has been reunited with the blind sea lion he rescued six years ago.<br /><br />In video captured on September 29 at Moody Gardens amusement park in Galveston, Texas, Jonathan Gonzalez is shown being reunited with the seal as the animal is being fed by a carer. <br /><br />''When I was the volunteer Assistant Director at the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Center (in California) we rescued over 1,000 seals, sea lions and dolphins,'' Jonathan later wrote online.<br /><br />''One of them sticked out in my mind more than any other and that is Squirt, the sea lion that was born blind in both eyes.'' <br /><br />''I rescued her back in January 2010 and she only weighed 19lbs instead of 60lbs, the normal weight at that age," he says.<br /><br />''It was clear she was not feeding on her own, so we knew we needed to find a zoo or aquarium that was willing to take her in since we could not release her back to the wild.''<br /><br />''After seven years I was reunited with Squirt in September. It was an experience that I'll never forget,'' he continued.
