A seal has caused a stir in Tauranga this morning after being spotted on Fraser St.
Taneisha Miny was heading to get breakfast with her mum when she spotted the animal near Fraser Cove.
"I saw him beside a car sleeping, thought he was pretty cute and was just minding his own wondering what all the fuss was about," she said.
"I took the photo outside Waipuna Hospice second-hand shop. He was directly across from the estuary."
A police spokeswoman said police were called to Fraser St about 7.10am.
