the flippered mammals was spotted on North Shore Road near Flatts last night.

"They like to explore,'' said curator Mr. Richard Winchell, adding that the seals have been moved out front while the plumping in their regular pools is repaired. One of five seals slipped through the wire and was captured by the night watchman and head zookeeper Mr. James Conyers. A passerby spotted the seal by the road at about 8 p.m.
