Phoca vitulina
Probably the cutest mammal I have ever seen! Tan and gray mottled body with short flippers.
Laying on some rocks of a jetty at the ocean at Barnegat Lighthouse SP
Distinguished from the similar looking gray seal by having nostrils close together and coming to a "v" shape, where gray seals have the nostrils with a clear division between them. Here is a gray seal I spotted from the same location, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/113...

No kidding! Well, that explains a lot ;) hehe...
That's because we were together and this is the same seal haha
obviously they're not, but it's kinda eerily close ;)
If i didn't know better, i'd say these were the same: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/121... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/121...
