Seal Stops Traffic On Long Beach Island Street In New Jersey [Video]

It's crazy what you see in Jersey sometimes. However, I think one TikTok user has us beat, with what he saw in Harvey Cedars this past week.

Imagine driving down the road and not being able to pass an animal. And not the typical animal you may see, like some seagulls, a flock of geese, or some bennies.

But rather, you can't continue down the road because there's a seal blocking your way. It may sound like something out of a TV show, but that's exactly what one New Jersey driver ran into while making his way down Long Beach Island this week.

This Grey Seal Was Quickly Taken To Safety

Fortunately, here, officers and workers from the public works center were both on the scene shortly after the seal was spotted, and the seal was transported to. The seal was then transported to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, according to Jersey Shore Online.

The seal was okay for the most part, but it was noted that the animal was slightly underweight.

I don't know about you, but I always forget how common it is to see seals at the Jersey Shore, although we usually see them in the water, not in the middle of the street.
