Sleepy elephant seal stops Tasmanian woman from going to work

A 600kg seal took a nap in front of Amber Harris’s car, stopping her from going to work on Tuesday. She woke up at to the sound of what she thought was someone breaking into her vehicle, she told ABC Hobart. After investigating Harris’s front deck and trying to get in through her front door, the seal, known to locals as Neil, explored the garage and then planted himself in front of her car. Neil has been tagged by marine conservationists because he is known to venture away from the local beaches and on to roads.
