A rather friendly looking fellow! But he would probably gnaw my leg off if I got too close. Regards.

I'm not sure about knawing your leg off Walt, but I do remember not too long after this was taken a mother seal gave one swimming tourist that got too close to her pup a bite he'll never forget, right on his back seat!

 

Where I like to go swimming almost daily is very secluded, so I often see one of these seals laying out on the beach. Is pretty neat actually. In fact I saw a young one Tuesday. They'll stick around on the same beach as long as you let them be. And legally you have no choice but to let them be since they are federally protected...

 

Thanks for the comments guys.
