The Yarra River is tidal and it’s not uncommon to see a dolphin or a seal in both the Yarra or Maribyrnong Rivers. Rangers noticed the seal was fishing for food and seemed quite content and, as of midday, reported that the seal was heading towards the city and is likely to be heading back toward the bay.
