Ok, this just looks like a weird day for everyone involved.
On one hand, you've got this 5-day-old seal pup, who somehow washed up in the middle of this field: alone, dehydrated, and surrounded by these 1,000-pound nightmare beasts. Not fun.
And from the cows' perspective — there's something in their field that isn't delicious grass! Clearly, they're not having any of this.
Perhaps most baffled of all is Ian Ellis, a Boston native who was birdwatching on a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve in Lincolnshire, U.K. when he came across this scene.
Fortunately for the seal, Ellis quickly contacted both a RSPB warden and the Skegness Natureland Seal Sanctuary, which responded promptly to get the seal pup into a safe environment.
The rescued seal is currently recuperating at the Natureland sanctuary. And since she was rescued during Natureland's 50th anniversary, her keepers have named the pup Celebration.
