CAPE TOWN - A heartwarming end to a surprise visit to the Mother City.
The elephant seal seen wandering the streets of Gordon's Bay has been safely returned to the ocean.
A coordinated rescue plan ensured the safe relocation of the marine mammal.
Residents and motorists were in awe when the big boy stopped traffic and even took a bit of a rest on the hood of a security car.
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is lauding everyone involved and reminds residents not to approach such animals but instead call for assistance.
