New Zealand seal pup nearly strangled by a sexy G-string

When a young seal was spotted with something red and stringy wrapped around its neck near a stretch of New Zealand coast known as “Lover’s Leap,” it wasn’t clear what the pup had gotten into (a bag? a net?) or whether it would survive. But rescuers who hiked in to save the seal were surprised to find it had nearly been done in by … a G-string. Unable to reunite the thong with the owner who'd left it behind, the Department of Conservation came up with a cheeky solution – auctioning off the scanty-panties and donating the proceeds to charity. The sale brought in about $107, which probably won’t cover much, but then neither would the G-string. No word on the saved seal pup, but we bet it'll steer clear of Lover's Leap from now on.  [Source]
