The Papakura seal has been herded down to the reserve near the estuary by police and firefighters and is currently being monitored by Department of Conservation staff. The appearance of the seal on a road this morning surprised commuters and brought out the animal wranglers. The seal, believed to be a fur seal, waddled its way into the middle of the road, with the call out to Coles Crescent coded a "mammal hazard". The seal didn't want to return to the water and was left in the care of the Department of Conservation, sunning itself on a grass patch. The area was sealed off.* *bing
