"As Rushcutters Bay Park is frequented by residents, our parks staff have set up barriers as a precaution to protect the seal and the public," a City of Sydney spokesperson told Mashable.

As of Tuesday, the area had been cordoned off by the City of Sydney, in an effort to protect the seal from the likes of humans and dogs, and vice versa.
"Never walk between a seal and the water," the sign read. "Seals move fast on land and may bite if frightened."

According to the ABC, the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) has been monitoring Sealvester (they even came up with his excellent, excellent name), and said he was in good health. The broadcaster noted the closest breeding colony for Australian fur seals is on Montague Island, and ORRCA has tabs on a handful of these seals hanging out in Sydney Harbour.
