Macit Gundogdu said he was out for a walk Tuesday in the Golturkbuku neighborhood of Bodrum when he spotted the seal on the beach.

He said the seal acted friendly toward passers-by and visited with onlookers for a time before leaving.

Bodrum Dolphin Park, which was built in 2005, has four dolphin shelter pools and a cruise stand located along Guvercinlik bay.
