Beachgoers at Palmiet Beach had the rare opportunity to witness an unexpected visitor on Sunday night, as an elephant seal made its way ashore to rest along the picturesque Kleinmond coastline, reports.
This majestic marine mammal, known for its size and unique behaviour, typically inhabits sub-Antarctic regions, making its presence in South Africa an extraordinary sight.
The appearance of the elephant seal has generated excitement among locals and tourists alike, who are eager to catch a glimpse of the creature.
However, the Overstrand Municipal Environmental and Conservation Management team is urging caution.
