Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayWildlife officials have warned people to give Neil the seal space during his visit to Tasmania, where he has been crushing fences, blocking traffic and bashing into parked cars, in what experts say is play-fighting behaviour.
Neil, a 1,000kg southern elephant seal, was born – unusually – in Tasmania in October 2020. Most of his kind live thousands of kilometres south on the subantarctic Macquarie and Heard islands.
“[H]e’s certainly been a bit of a celebrity, and he continues to earn his status,” said Rod Macdonald, the mayor of Tasman council, which covers the area where Neil was born.
With this in mind, we would like to hear about animals that have attained star status elsewhere. Do you have a local animal celebrity where you live? Tell us all about them below.
