450-pound seal removed from Alaska airport runway

A 450-pound (204 kg) seal wandered onto the runway of the airport in Alaskas northernmost city Utqiagvik (commonly known by its former name Barrow) on 23 October and had to be removed using a sled. The seal is said to have strayed from a nearby sea during a heavy winter storm. Oct 30, 2017
