A seal was found wandering near a bridge in New Haven, Connecticut, prompting an unusual 911 call. The seal, a young male, was discovered in the city’s industrial zone, far from its natural ocean habitat. Officers speculated that the seal might have been attracted to the city’s famous pizza, joking that it was looking for clam pizza. The seal, temporarily named SYHg2506, was rescued by volunteers from the Mystic Aquarium and given first aid. The naming convention for the seal indicates that it was the sixth marine mammal reported to the aquarium in 2025. Officer Christian Bruckhart of the New Haven Police Department expressed surprise at the unusual situation, suggesting that perhaps they should start keeping mackerel in their cruisers. The seal was safely rescued within 24 hours of the initial report, and is now in the care of the aquarium’s animal rescue unit. The incident has sparked curiosity and amusement among residents in the area.
