Small pup rests today

     
A small, beautifully marked seal pup hauled out onshore for about 5 hours today. The pup picked a spot directly under a Marine Mammal Protection Act sign and behind a log so was virtually unnoticed by passersby. The weather was gloomy and cold so there were not alot of people and dogs out and about. Able to rest undisturbed, he returned to the waters of Elliott Bay around 5pm with the arrival of a large group of foreign tourists. Photos of teeth revealed that the pup is recently weaned, also evidenced by the fact that he was on the thin side.
