It gets even better. The homeowner called the Dept of Conservation who had been already been looking for a wayward seal pup who had been reported in the area. They came and collected him without incident... well, almost:

:rotfl2:

Awwwwwwwwww :DL

As long as he got along with the cats, I might have tried to keep him. :sunny:

Funny part is, the tuna she had in the fridge mysteriously disappeared. Ms. Swoffer cats and new found friend all looked fat and happy. :shifty:

That would certainly be tempting, but according to the article they advise people to call the proper authorities immediately and not to try even to touch these critters. Very cute but still a wild animal* and expected to behave accordingly. Apparently everyone was surprised that the little guy showed no signs of aggression at all in such a strange environment.






*Clearly one that just wants to curl up on a comfy seat and maybe listen to some tunes, but still. :O:

That's true. "Does your seal bite?"

Mine did, once, then I made ear warmers out of it.

How cool is that :sunny:

I have seen pictures and videos of seals jumping out of the water and ripping heads off penguins. I doubt a seal on land would be a serious threat to an adult.

No, but you still don't want to get bitten, and if you have pets in the house you don't want to do anything that causes the animal to become afraid or aggressive and lash out at anything. Plus there's the issue of needing to return the animal to the wild which means it's best for him to have as little contact with humans as possible, even (and probably especially) if it's of the friendly and cuddly sort.

Although in this little guy's case, it doesn't sound like he really wanted to go back since he seemed pretty set on making himself as comfortable as possible in his new surroundings. I still can't over him ending up on the front seat of the truck. :haha:

"Hahahaha!"






Sorry...but that was just too wide open to let go.

Carry on. :up:

They can grow to some size (some as in quite large, not as in a random amount!), and can be quite vicious when feeling threatened, or when nurturing pups. The pups much less so. In the water they can be the masters, but on land they are quite cumbersome - that's not including 'display' seals.

I bet Ms Swoffer doesn't go out clubbing this weekend. :rock:

What? Too soon? :hmmm:
