"Hello there!, I'll be your tour guide on a boating adventure, a day of exploration, in the summertime.
This is a harbour seal, I think. I refer to them as the Cute seals, the Grey Seal is much larger & also called a horsehead seal, because, THEY UGLY! 😂
You don't have to be in a boat to see these. I can walk to most shorelines and see them.
These swim right up to the river.

@mikako6 When I thought my dog was drowning, I put my arm through the hole in the ice and tried to catch his collar. It's a wonder the seal didn't bite me! The dog thought I was crazy trying to rescue a seal, and came out to sit behind me and watch on the ice LOL I had a long board to displace my weight and keep me from going through the ice and becoming a victim @capla

The Harbour seal is very cute. They look like a Labrador Retriever dog, and when I owned a Black Lab dog, I thought he fell through the ice one winter, and I risked my life to save him, and just as I got to the hole in the ice, it went under. It wasn't my dog, it was a harbour seal ! And because we make no noise, they come right up to our boat, very curious and playful. But they eat so many fish, and spread worms in the codfish.
Harbour #Seal appears to be bobbing to my music
