Seal seen swimming in Tokyo's Tama River

TOKYO, Japan - A seal puppy is seen swimming in the Tama River near the Maruko Bridge in Tokyo's Ota Ward on Aug. 15. The seal, which is about one meter long, was first seen near the bridge about one week ago. An official at Kamogawa Seaworld in Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture, said the seal, which usually inhabits the Arctic, may have mistakenly gone south to seek food and strayed into the river. (Kyodo)
