– 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. He says U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service crews and CHP officers managed to usher the adult seal back into the San Francisco Bay. Marine mammal experts believed the seal was attempting to get to the dry land across the highway so she could give birth.

Many people were curious though as to why the Highway Patrol would not simply let the seal cross the road. “So she was moving us pretty easily, a lot of force”.
