Description
A harbor seal baby on a sand bar near Lincoln City on the central Oregon coast. Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are the most commonly seen pinniped (fin-footed animal) on the Oregon coast. They haul-out (rest) at low tide on sand bars in most bays and estuaries along the Oregon coast. They are also found on nearshore rocks and islands usually within 3 miles of the coast. Harbor seals have a gray or black spotted coat. The males and females are approximately the same size: about 5 to 6 feet in length and between 200 and 300 pounds when full grown. In Oregon, pups are born in late March through April. Pups weigh about 10 pounds and they can swim at birth.
