MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Minnesota harbor seal who became an overnight sensation has gone south for the winter.

Feisty, 25, escaped from Duluth's Lake Superior Zoo during the northland flooding three years ago.

He has called St. Paul's Como Zoo home ever since. But he has apparently had enough of Minnesota winters.

Feisty moved to the Albuquerque BioPark zoo in New Mexico last month.

Zookeepers there hope he can be a mate for a harbor seal named Gracie.
