EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this fin-tastic photo print, a small group of kayakers couldn't resist the adorable allure of harbor seals sunbathing on the beach. As they paddled through Moss Landing Harbor in Monterey Bay, California, these lucky adventurers made an unexpected pit stop to admire these charismatic marine mammals. With their canoes hauled onto the sandy shore, these nature enthusiasts found themselves face-to-flipper with a playful bunch of harbor or common seals (Phoca vitulina). It was as if the seals had organized their own welcoming committee for humans! The National Marine Sanctuary provided the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable encounter. As curious eyes met whiskered faces, both species shared a moment of mutual fascination and awe. These intelligent creatures seemed just as intrigued by their human visitors as we were by them. This heartwarming scene reminds us that even in our busy lives, it's important to pause and appreciate the wonders of nature. So next time you find yourself exploring California's Pacific Ocean waters, keep your eyes peeled for these charming seal encounters. Just remember to respect their natural habitat and enjoy observing from a safe distance – after all, nobody wants to be caught up in some "seal-ious" mischief!
