Phoca vitulina
A harbour seal pup sunning itself on the beach.
Mother harbour seals will often leave their pups alone on the shoreline while they hunt for food. Always be careful if you see a pup on the beach and give it a lot of space, as to not frighten it or its mother -- this can lead to her abandoning her pup. If you are unsure of what to do or whether or not a seal pup has been abandoned, call your local wildlife rehabilitation centre for info.
