“Giant seal stops traffic”
Traffic came to a standstill in a coastal town in South Africa last Tuesday when a giant seal lost his way and decided to take a walk down a road.
The large elephant seal took a wrong turn and was seen lumbering along a street in Gordon’s Bay, surprising residents and inspiring a rescue effort to get him back to sea.
The two-ton seal was making his way through a suburb of Gordon’s Bay near Cape Town.
Locals came out of houses and recorded videos.
“This is unreal. Hi, bro, how did you get here?” one woman asked.
The seal eventually stopped next to a shopping mall, where animal welfare officials sedated the seal and got him back to sea.
Authorities say the seal was a young male and while two tons is heavy, elephant seals can grow to twice that size.
