Ok. This next question is *** this or that in Massachusetts, Schubert, the seal found his way from the ocean into *** freshwater pond. *** dangerous environment for *** seal in cold weather that far north. The fear was as temperatures get colder and that could ice over. Eventually, authorities were able to rescue the seal. But how it went down is stunning. How was Schubert rescued? Did he hitch *** ride on *** kayak or turn himself in by waddling to *** local police station? I want it to be the police station answer. I don't know. It's either this or that. It's either this or that. I'm gonna go with the kayak. The correct answer is he waddled to *** police station? It's the one you wanted. I listen, it's ok. You still got $75. Listen to this. He turned himself in by waddling to *** local police station. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't believe unless you had video proof, which just unfortunately, we do. I thought everyone was joking until I actually watched the videos this morning. I never would have thought he made it this far. It's probably *** good 300 yards from the pond to here from the police station's surveillance cameras. You can see the four year old gray seal waddling hopping and even scooting his way to the gate before trying to make *** run for it. Once *** Beverly police officer approached and alerted no officials to help surround and safely load the seal into *** kennel. Any speculation of why he came here, uh He knew it would be safe here.
