SO CUTE! Baby seal found wandering by police along highway in New Jersey
A seal pup was discovered to be crossing a main road in Brick Township, NJ and was brought to safety.People often joke about why the chicken crossed the road, but what about a seal?
Officers managed to stop traffic and allow the seal to safely cross the road. The pup, however, did not go back home just yet, as it made its way into someone's backyard on Ocean Avenue and stayed there under the supervision of the officers. Fortunately, the healthy 36-pound pup showed no signs of injury or illness and was released back into the wild on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the center, seals are typically born on islands, and so when they get lost, their natural instinct is to keep wandering until they spot a body of water.
