SYDNEY - Australian farmers are puzzling over a seal's curious inland expedition far from its watery home as rescuers work to save the marine mammal, local media reported on Thursday .
"We went in the tractor down to the paddock and first thought it was a pig. When it got up and started moving, we saw it was definitely not a pig, it was a seal," Ms Karli McGee told Australia's national broadcaster ABC. "All the locals are in shock. A lot of know where we live. We are not near the beach, so it is a bit of a surprise," Ms McGee told ABC.
It was unclear how the seal travelled so far inland, with Ms McGee saying that it may have navigated local rivers before coming ashore in search of food.
