Description
A baby Harbor Seal relaxes with its mother on a muddy bank of Elkhorn Slough. .....The mother has a reddish coat although many Harbor Seal females in the area are brown, black, or mottled silver like the baby in this photo. ....These Harbor Seals are at Elkhorn Slough, a central California nature preserve consisting of marshes, mud flats, and a 7-mile waterway that begins at Moss Landing on the Pacific Ocean. Sea otters also bear their young in the protected area, as do a variety of birds.....Special charter boats give limited visitors the opportunity to see these spectacular animals in their natural environment. Springtime is busy at the slough, with most of the marine mammal births occuring between March and May.
