A persistent elephant seal kept trying to cross Highway 37 in Sonoma County, slowing down traffic in the area. Crews from the Marine Mammal Center and the CHP worked tirelessly to try to get the mammal back to the safety of the bay.

A biologist at Point Reyes checked on her Wednesday and says the seal, named Tolay, made her way to a colony at Drakes Beach.
