Dozens of onlookers are seen watching the seal from the sidelines as several children giggle at its waddling movements.
The seal invaded the packed beach in the coastal area of Brzeźno in Gdańsk, Poland, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One local said: “Grey seals in Polish waters are native not invasive.
“Their presence is a positive sign of the improvement of the Baltic environment.”
Piotr added: “The seal was thinking ‘who the hell are these peasants?’”

Kasia joked: “Beautiful, the seal population is rebelling. It’s a pity they forgot about educating the people. In such a situation, everyone should know to quietly gather their belongings and go somewhere else.”
According to witnesses, the seal did not like the large crowd gawping at it and soon returned to the sea of its own accord.
Leonard Wawrzyniak, spokesperson for the Gdynia Sea Rescue Centre, said: “It’s worth remembering that seal pups can often look like they need help, but don’t be fooled.

“Sometimes, their mothers search for food in the surrounding waters and soon return for their offspring.
“The most important thing is not to panic and not approach the animal.
“If you’re concerned about the health of a seal, you shouldn’t approach it or examine it yourself.”
