"Recent sightings of a seal in the Yarra River have sparked excitement among
Melbourne locals and revived memories of “Salvatore” from the city’s prolonged
Covid-19 lockdowns.
Zaynab Malik, a resident of inner-city Melbourne, said she spotted the seal
frolicking near Point Park along the River Esplanade in Docklands about 9.30am
on Monday.
“At first, I thought it was a dolphin. Because all I saw was [what looked like]
this huge fin. He was zooming down the river and disappeared from view in under
three minutes. I got pretty excited,” Malik told
Guardian Australia.
“I always thought Salvatore stayed around Abbotsford, so it was a lovely
surprise to start the day.”"
