Feb. 25 (UPI) — The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in New Jersey came to the rescue of a female seal found wandering through a road.
The center said the Harvey Cedars Police Department contacted rescuers on Tuesday to report a seal in the middle of Long Beach Boulevard.
Police and Harvey Cedars Department of Public Works personnel kept traffic at bay as the seal made her way to Middlesex Avenue, where she settled down for a nap.
Marine Mammal Stranding Center rescuers arrived on the scene and determined the seal was not injured, but did appear to be underweight.
The seal was taken to the center’s Pool House for rest and rehabilitation.
