Locals are saying she is still hanging around the bay today.
Officials at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito warned local residents never to approach a stranded seal.
Mammal centre spokeswoman Laura Sherr said the seal, which did not seem to be hurt, probably became lost and confused after swimming up the wrong waterway. Marine mammal experts believed the seal was attempting to get to the dry land across the highway so she could give birth.
Crews were able to divert the animal back into the water but it is “very committed to crossing” and “keeps trying to come out”, Barclay said.
Drivers then stopped and tried unsuccessfully to shoo her back toward the water. They also say she appears to be very healthy and shows no sign of illness. “Every time we get him in the water he waits until we walk away and he’s right back up on land”.

Barbie Halaska, a research assistant with the Marin County-based Marine Mammal Center, said it was unclear why the seal was trying to cross the road – but that such behavior could be driven by the animal’s pregnancy. 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. In a statement released this afternoon, the center says elephant seals return to beaches along central Calfiornia during the winter months to mate and give birth.
