Hartford's Seal of Approval

Ok, I apologize. I admit to enjoying goofy headlines a little too much.

On Tuesday, a harbor seal swam up the Connecticut River into Hartford, apparently hot on the tail of a snack. The seal spent the afternoon sitting on the east side bank of the river across from Hartford. Officials say seals will occasionally stray from familiar water if they find fish in other areas.

Other places to see Seals in Connecticut include Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, who have daily harbor seal feedings at 11:45 a.m., 1:45 p.m. & 3:45 p.m. and Project Oceanology who conduct seal watch cruises.
