Kensington police Chief Lewie Sutherland has received a lot of calls in his 28 years of law enforcement, but Sunday morning "was the first time I've ever been called out for a seal."

The seal was propelling itself across a snow-covered front lawn on MacLean Avenue in the Prince Edward Island town of 1,400 people.

It was about a year old, more than a metre long and weighed about 180 pounds. And it seemed to be on some kind of mission.

"Where he was going, I have no idea," Sutherland told CBCNews.ca on Tuesday. "But he was going at a good rate."
