Neil the #Seal can teach us plenty about seal behaviour. A #marinebiologist explains
Neil is a five-year-old male southern #elephantseal who weighs roughly one tonne. Born on Tasman Peninsula in October 2020, makes annual trip to Tasmania. This is because many seal species regularly return to place they were born, as well as sites where they breed and rest.
Over past few years, Neil has been seen lounging on streets and climbing onto cars at Tasmania’s #SevenMileBeach.

"Australian officials ask fans to respect the privacy of Neil, a 1-ton #seal who respects nothing"

"Neil, the only male #elephantSeal to visit Tasmania in years, has commanded an enthralled TikTok following of 1.4 million in part because he acts like kind of a jerk"

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦭🚧 Neil, a 1,000 kg southern elephant #seal in #Tasmania, crushes traffic cones and barriers each year during molting season, rubbing against them to shed his coat.

Wildlife experts from Tasmania’s Department of #NaturalResources and #Environment say it’s not mischief but instinct. As Neil matures, officials warn he may become more territorial, urging fans to keep 20 m away.
