RCMP rescue baby seal waddling along NS highway

Inverness District RCMP always get their man, and increasingly these days, their marine mammal.

Inverness District Mounties were called to Newtown around 10 a.m. Saturday for a report of a seal close to Highway 19.

When officers found the seal, they scooped it up with a seal net and placed it in the back of their truck.

“The baby seal showed his appreciation for the Mounties’ efforts by posing for a photo while in the back of the truck,” said an RCMP news release, which included the portrait for any doubters.

The Mounties took the seal to the Port Hawkesbury wharf and released it into the Strait of Canso.
