Duluth, MN (CNN) - It's may be the last thing you'd expect to see in your headlights.

CNN iReporter Ellie Burcar was dodging flooded, impassable roads in Duluth, Minnesota when she pulled up on a seal from the Lake Superior Zoo.

Because of the flooding rains this week some animals got out of their exhibits.

Burcar called 911, then talked to the seal, while snapping a few pictures, until help arrived.

She said, while she watched, the seal made it across the road to a big puddle, where it splashed around in the water like a kid on a playground.
