IMG_1532.jpg

This seal which was about to give birth (see previous picture) displayed some interesting behavior. Normally, the seals stay mostly together and away from the people. However, this seal wanted to be by itself. This picture was taken when she came by herself to within a few feet of the few remaining people up on the wall. She looked up at us as if she were saying: "Can't you just leave me alone? This is going to be a very private moment for me."
