So a Fur Seal Walks Into a Suburban Car Wash...
One adventurous marine mammal makes waves in New Zealand.
Where is a seal’s pied-à-terre in the metro area? If you said the car wash you’d be correct, at least for one wandering critter in a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand.
The 220-pound swimmer was spotted Monday night cruising through the drive-through of a McDonald’s. On Tuesday it relocated to the Papakura Uwash, where it spent much of the day alternately stretching and sleeping. It didn’t seem too bothered by the crowds that amassed—seriously, one woman showed up with a bag of raw fish—though it’d probably vomit half-digested squid tentacles if it knew it inspired a parody Twitter account.
