Little Lost Seal Led Back To The Bay

OAKLAND, CA — The Alameda County Sheriff's Office was asked to help a lost traveler Thursday morning near the Oakland Airport. But rather than heading to the terminal to catch a plane, the little guy was herded straight into San Francisco Bay.

The Sheriff's Office had some fun sharing the story on Facebook, "We found this little seal this morning headed into the Oakland Airport. We are not exactly sure where he was headed but a flight to Hawaii is suspected. Deputies were able to coax him back into the bay where he is safe."

With our cold temps on Wednesday, who would blame him for opting for a Hawaiian vacation? We're betting he was trying to find an easy way to visit mom for the holidays.

Thanks to the Sheriff's Office for sharing their fun with everyone.
