Resting seal draws crowd at Waikiki
Parks and Wildlife officers have cordoned off a section of sand at Waikiki Beach south of Perth, where a sub-antarctic fur seal is resting.
The male seal has already attracted a small crowd of onlookers, while it recuperates from an injury.
A spokeswoman from Parks and Wildlife said the wound did not appear life-threatening and did not require treatment.
She said the seal was expected to leave the beach of its own accord.
Onlookers are advised to keep a safe distance from the seal and not disturb the animal.
