Large seal climbs on car, smashes windscreen

[Still Waters]

A large seal has been captured by wildlife authorities after it wandered up a suburban street and climbed on a car, smashing the windscreen and denting the roof.

The Australian fur seal, dubbed "Lou-Seal" by Tasmanian police, was discovered on a street in the Launceston suburb of Newstead on Monday.

There are small waterways dotted around Newstead, however the suburb is about 50 kilometres inland - suggesting the seal had a long trek from its usual habitat.

After a medical check-up he will be released.

Fancied a nap, did he? I wouldn't think on top of a car is the most comfortable bed in the world, but if it suited him...

The warmth of the heated metal car hood. Probably was enticing and felt good.
