HAYWARD, Calif. -- An emaciated baby northern fur seal is recovering after it was found in bushes at a business park. Police said the dehydrated and malnourished seal was found after someone called about the pup about 6 a.m. Wednesday. Police said the seal got out of the water, crossed Interstate 880 and found its way to the bushes. Police at first thought the caller was mistaken and the furry creature was a "possum or a weird cat."
