We enjoyed watching this harbor seal as it swam around the rock. Another seal was sleeping on top of the rock. They are quite well camoflaged, so they can be a challenge to see.
This big guy was resting on the large rock below the cliffs of Pt. Lobos, California. The name of the preserve comes from the seals which are known as "Wolves of the Sea", "Lobos" means wolf in Spanish.
Santa Cruz, CA July 6, 2008 Seals don't have the external earflaps that California Sealions have. They have a more rounded snout too.
