Harbor Seal at Monterey Bay

Harbor Seal Sunning Itself on a Rock

Is this the picture of bliss or what! This harbor seal was sunning itself on a rock that was becoming submerged by the rising tide in Monterey Bay right off the wharf at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Personally I would go for a rock where I didn't have to hold my head and tail out of the water like this, but I guess it's just like we are at times and just too tired to move!

Here's a link to the Monterey Bay Aquarium's listing of Monterey Bay marine mammals.
