California deputies had an interesting encounter when they helped an elephant seal cross a highway.
It happened on Highway 1 near a seal sanctuary along the California coastline.
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office deputies say the Marine Mammal Center helped with the effort.
Officials believe the seal was a young male who lost a fight with an older male, journeyed off the beach across the road, and got lost.
It’s a good thing authorities were able to help. Officials say a seal this large crossing the road unattended could be a dangerous situation.
