An elephant seal was safely relocated on Tuesday, after it was spotted along Sir Lowry’s Pass Road, Gordon’s bay the morning
The City of Cape town, along with the SPCA and Cape Nature,
managed to relocate the marine mammal to a place of safety after it was
reported wandering through a residential area.
The animal weighing nearly 2 tonnes, clearly caught the
attention of the community.
Ward councillor Sean Stacey, present at the scene,
commented on the seal’s size, stating, ‘He’s a heavy boy.’
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA confirmed that the large seal,
known for its immense size and coastal roots, is believed to have become disoriented
and ventured inland.
‘Our SPCA Inspectors are actively working on a safe and
stress-free plan to relocate this magnificent marine mammal,’ said the
organisation in a public notice on social media.
