That is insane, I have to think it had to escape from somewhere, cause thats a helluva a swim from the arctic circle! Title: Re: A giant arctic seal just showed up in South Florida. Post by: kawGIRL on May 07, 2007, 07:45:38 PM One has been in Hobe Sound since Thursday, they are checking to see if it is the same one or not? Don't think she can swim that far so quick. Last year there were 2 in the area one died and the other was sent up to New Jersey after recovery ;)

Post by: renmus on May 07, 2007, 07:49:14 PM Haven't they lost track of the seal that was seen in the IR Lagoon. I think that is the one that was later in Hobe Sound. Last I heard they were searching for her.
