Neil the Seal, a five-year-old southern elephant seal in Tasmania, has become a viral sensation for his cheeky behaviour, including chewing traffic cones and flattening fences. Wildlife authorities are warning that people are getting too close to the one-tonne animal, ignoring the 20-metre distance requirement and putting both themselves and Neil at risk. Officials say relocation or euthanasia could become necessary if the public continues to disregard safety advice, though such measures would only be considered as a last resort.
