Since turning three years old, Niel has developed a taste for causing harmless chaos. One of his favorite pastimes is lounging in the middle of the road, blocking the passage of cars and delighting in the surprised expressions of drivers. He also likes to take up residence near front doors, as if challenging homeowners to step over his adorable, yet inconveniently placed, body.

Niel is not the first seal to tease a small town, either. A few years ago, a group of seals in Canada made headlines for blocking roads and causing a stir in a tiny community, much like Niel’s antics in Dunalley.
