– An unusual traffic hazard along Highway 37 in Sonoma County on Monday had officers from the California Highway Patrol and researchers from the Marine Mammal Center playing a game of chicken with a 500 pound wayward elephant seal. On Tuesday, the seal was still swimming in the area and workers in a kayak tried to coax it toward the open water.

“Our main goal is that we keep her out of the roadway and in the water”.
Some were hiding nearby with a crate in case the seal made another effort at getting on land, but with the tide going out, that effort would be more hard. “She is just 900 pounds of not wanting to move”, Barclay said.
“The initial plan was to corral her through the parking lot” using several mammal center volunteers and CHP officers. An elephant seal lion swam out of San Pablo Bay and waddled onto Highway 37 near Sears Point yesterday. “They’re attempting to herd it back into the water now”. Volunteers said they usually deal with stranded sea lions in this area but typically don’t see elephant seals, which are commonly found up north in Point Reyes or down in the Peninsula at Ano Nuevo State Park. CHP Officer Andrew Barclay told ABC station KGO that the seal caused a mile-long traffic jam in both directions.

The elephant seal appeared to have given up as of 11 p.m. Monday, but reports indicate it was back trying to cross the road Tuesday morning.
