Harbor Seal Pup This Harbor Seal Pup was on the beach by itself. I spotted it and got very close when it began barking and trying to get closer to where I was standing. It gave me the impression that is was lost and wanted help (truly!). As I was taking pictures it literally got in my face and was softly barking as a plea for help. It finally scurries off back into the ocean and swam away. Great experience! Geotagged,Harbor (common) seal,Phoca vitulina,Summer,United States Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
