HAYWARD, Calif.—An emaciated baby northern fur seal is recovering after it was found in some bushes at a San Francisco Bay Area business park, his second escape attempt in just a few months.

Hayward police said on the department’s Facebook page that the dehydrated and malnourished seal was found after someone called about the pup around 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Police say the seal—somehow—got out of the water, crossed busy Interstate 880 and found its way to the bushes.
