Seal spotted in New Jersey creek

SAYREVILLE, N.J. (AP) -- A gray seal has been spotted in a central New Jersey creek.

Sayreville police posted a video on Facebook of the seal apparently feeding in Morgan Creek.

Bob Schoelkopf of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine tells The Home News Tribune the seal seems to be the same one spotted in southern New Jersey. Schoelkopf says the seal seems to be heading north.

Schoelkopf is urging people to leave the seal alone and to look at it from a distance because seals do bite.
