Here we are in the Seal Mobile!!! BOL
Molting is a very stressful time for the seals. They just feel yucky and don't wanna do much.
See how far he was away from the water and he looks just like one of the rocks.
A little more old skin to fall off and then he'll be just like new!!
Notice the flip flops...those aren't mom's or R018's, someone just left them at the beach. Besides everyone knows seals don't wear flip flops!!
Later this afternoon he went down to the waterline for a quick cool down and then
played a game of peek.
Pretending he's a snowplow!!!
(He's using the sand as a loofah to get rid of that old dead skin)
at the end of the day R018 had made his way back up into the vegetation,
safe from the crashing waves.
Stay safe R018, stay safe!!

Glad you girls found him! That looks like it would hurt, the molting thing. I hope he's ok.

Send the flip flops to the tree Lady saw in the Caymans. We hope the seal feels better soon. He looks sad.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well he blends in with the rocks, it would be easy to walk right by and not see if one wasn't paying attention!
ReplyDeleteWe saw seals all the time on the North Sea, but never saw them so far away from the water, or molting.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots and grat info. Thanks!
