【1974 Archives】

We're not sure why974 Archives but Australia seems to be the land of seals doing whatever they want.

Just like this massive fur seal which was found in the suburbs of Launceston, Tasmania, on Boxing Day. Dubbed "Lou-seal" by Tasmania Police, the seal was roughly 50 kilometres (31 miles) away from the ocean.

According to ABC News, the adult male seal is estimated to have weighed 200 kilograms (440 lbs). It was first spotted in the middle of the road in the early hours of Monday morning, then was seen sitting on a car parked in a driveway, then jumped onto another parked behind it.

The unexpected visitor gave the home's occupants quite the shock, as they had to wait inside for several hours until Tasmania Parks and Wildlife staff could help retrieve the animal.

"We got up and there was this great big seal on the roof of the car which is definitely not what you'd expect on Boxing Day," William Gregory, who was inside the home, told the news outlet.

"You kind of wake up and you wonder, is this really happening, am I really seeing this or am I still dreaming?"

Eventually, the seal was tranquilised and moved out of the area. It'll later be released on a beach in the state's north-west.

All in the life of a seal, Down Under.
