HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA — A baby seal pup somehow managed to waddle out of the San Francisco Bay and cross a congested East Bay highway on Wednesday.
This morning a little before 6 AM, someone called from Sandoval Way to report a baby seal flopping around in the bushes at a business.
“Sometimes when people call to report an incident, the things they are telling us aren’t exactly what is occurring, after all how could a seal come from the water, cross I-880 and be on the east side of Hayward? We were thinking it was probably a possum or weird cat but the caller insisted it was a seal,” police said on their Facebook page. “Well lo and behold it was a seal! Thank you to Barbie from the The Marine Mammal Center for responding.”
The baby seal was a little dehydrated and malnourished but will be fine and released to the wild soon.
