FREMONT, Cali. (WCMH)–Police in a city north of San Jose were called to rescue a pup from someone’s yard.
Not a puppy, mind you–a seal pup, who was several miles from the nearest open water!
The Fremont Police Department shared a video of the little seal on their Facebook page.
According to the Marine Mammal Center, it’s not the first time a seal has been spotted in the area, despite its distance from seal-habitable waters. The seal, nicknamed Ozzie, had no reported injuries.
The police department later updated its page to let everyone know the seal’s real name is Kumofur. She is a nine-month-old female northern fur seal. Kumofur was originally released in Bodega Bay and should have headed north to Alaska, they said.
