Baby Seal Sneak Onto Highway, Makes Some Friends
Police say Houston - named after a fallen U.S. Navy Seal from the Cape - made his way onto the highway 'Navy Seal style.'
YARMOUTH, MA — A baby seal that was found himself in the middle of a Cape Cod highway has been released back into the ocean, thanks to his new pals at the police department.
Houston, named by Yarmouth Police after a U.S. Navy Seal from the Cape who was killed in Afghanistan, was found late Friday on Route 6A in Yarmouth Port. Police and Amazing Animal Ambassadors got the seal into a cage until wildlife officials arrived.
Police said the baby seal checked out just fine and was released back into the ocean Saturday.
