Tonight after 6 PM a mass of some sort washed up on the beach near Cherry Street in the heart Carlsbadistan. We first got reports that it might be a drowning, then others said it was a torso. Five Carlsbad Police cars, two State Parks trucks, yellow tape, a tent, and a medical examiner later, it turned to be something else. Thankfully.
According to the Carlsbad Police department it was most likely a seal. “At first we thought it might have been a body, but after it was examined by experts it turned out to be some form of marine life most likely a seal.”
We’re glad it was not a body, but we still have one question: we’re there bite marks on it?
That seal was dead on the beach as far back as March 7. At that time it was laying in front of the campgrounds area, north of Ponto. “Visitors” were playing 20 feet away from it, unaware I guess.
I saw no teethmarks.
Were curious weather their we’re any bite marks two!
