Seals!

Published by vetmichael at 11:14 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Seals are different from Sea Lions; the latter having external ear flaps and the other doesn’t. Other than that, I don’t really know what the difference is - evidently the Seals and Sea Lions do, though.

Anyway, the Santa Barbara channel has a small smattering of Harbour Seals (see pics, below) who like to breed on the pebbly, rocky beaches where they are protected from predators (including humans). The pups shown were born this last spring and were taken by an
acquaintance of mine who is quite the amateur photographer. She sits for hours with her telephoto lens waiting to snap a picture of some seals and seal pups, so I hope everyone appreciates all her time and effort - I know I do. [By the way, sorry for the long absence, I was a little busy being buried under with freelance work - I hope you understand and I’ll try to keep such things from happening in the future]
