During the holidays, a seal pup caught crossing a busy Wellington street received a police escort back to the water.
Police were called out after the seal was spotted crossing Hutt Road.
Senior Sergeant Miriam Bentley said the seal appeared to be heading back for the water when it was found near the Wellington train station, which would have seen it have to cross the road again.
Bentley said police and Department of Conservation (DOC) staff worked together to help the pup.
Constables Taylor and Leitch helped take the seal to the beach for safe release, and Taylor said they were happy to help.
"When I joined police 15 months ago they said to be ready for anything, so I guess this demonstrates that's true."
Members of the public are asked not to attempt to intervene when they see a seal in a similar predicament, but to call 111 immediately for police help.
