Stranded lonely seal

I am using the images taken by my friend who lives on the other side of the lake yesterday afternoon.. The stranded seal was reported last Saturday and was on the news. 

This morning, Sea World rangers are out to search for it. Hope they could locate it and return it to the ocean. The rangers said some people tried to feed the seal. Everyone, including me, on the look out while walking around the lake this morning.

It is a mystery how the seal got lost from the group and through the gate  into the lake unharmed. There is a gate (with teeth) which opens at certain time to allow water out from the mountain or water in from the ocean through canal channels.
