Neil the one-tonne elephant seal returns to sea

Neil, a five-year-old southern elephant seal weighing around one tonne, has returned to the sea after several weeks at his regular haul-out spot on the Tasmanian coast. The seal's beachside antics — including causing traffic jams — have attracted millions of social media views. Tasmania's Premier Jeremy Rockliff joked that "traffic cones and street signs can breathe a small sigh of relief".
