"Neil", a 1000kg, five-year-old elephant seal, is one of Tasmania's biggest celebrities.
Most elephant seals return to where they were born, and spend time on land to rest, moult and feed. Neil was born on the Tasman Peninsula in 2020 and has been returning to the same region twice a year ever since, coming back bigger each time.
His cute and sometimes mischievous behaviour, including blocking roads, chewing traffic cones, crushing fences, knocking over bollards and leaning on cars, has won him admirers far and wide.
But authorities are concerned that Neil's popularity could become problematic. Tasmania's Department of Natural Resources and Environment said some people are failing to heed warnings to stay at least 20 metres away. There had been reports of some people taking selfies within a few metres of the Neil, and occasions where children and dogs have got too close.
If Neil were in a colony, the 1000-kilogram seal would normally be play-fighting with other seals. There was a real risk of injury if Neil were to behave in a similar way in a public space.
