"It's not unusual for curious young seals to show up in unexpected places at this time of year, she added, as they follow rivers and streams up to 15 km (9 miles) inland. They can turn up in unusual places, like this pub, but this is normal exploratory behaviour, Otley said."
A baby fur seal waddled into a pet-friendly craft beer bar in Richmond on a wet Sunday evening. Staff and customers initially mistook the seal for a dog before realizing its identity. The seal evaded attempts to usher it out, dashed into a bathroom and hid under an unplugged dishwasher. Customers fetched a sweater, a dog crate and used salmon from a pizza special to lure it. Conservation rangers, already tracking multiple public reports, arrived and released the seal on nearby Rabbit Island, chosen for its dog-free status. Young seals commonly explore inland waterways during an annual 'silly season.'
