A huge fur seal is wreaking havoc in the suburbs of Launceston, with police unable to get it under control.

Fur seals can grow up to 300kg.

A police spokeswoman said the Parks and Wildlife Service would arrive to move the seal, but that it was a big job.

“It will be a long process to remove it,” she told News Corp

“It is going to require several Parks and Wildlife officers to remove it.”

Police have told the public to keep their distance to avoid harming themselves or the seal.
