Barking Seals. You should have heard the noise. We heard it from the highway. Really sounded like a bunch of dogs.
Snarling Seals, were really not happy with each other. No clue what the problem was.
Arguing seals. They seemed pretty aggressive. I was glad to be good distance away.
Lumbering Seals, coming ashore. They moved pretty slowly, so much weight to move around. It was a move stop, move again situation. Getting in from the water really took time.
Snuggling and molting seals. They were laying all over each other. Suppose for the warmth, but given their weight I was surprised to see them stacked on top of each other. The molting made them all appear different colors, almost spotted in some cases.
California Seals really aren't true seals. Zalophus Califorianus are intelligent circus type seals. These seals are highly trainable. The navy trains seals, you see seals at the circus performing tricks, you know with the balls on their noises. They weight up to 660 pounds and can be 8 foot long if male, lighter and shorter if female.
