Happy 4th, Pup!

Posted on July 4, 2016

Happy 4th of July from this cute little harbor seal pup! He is just one of 3 harbor seal weanlings that the team has responded to this holiday weekend. As these pups, only about a month old, begin to figure out life on their own… we urge everyone to stay away and call the hotline if you come across one.

Not only is it against federal law to approach them…we as humans don’t want to give them the false sense that we are meant to be interacting!

Planning to visit today?

It’s a good idea to reserve online, especially with rain forecasted, as rainy summer days often find us at capacity, particularly in the morning, with walk-ins depending on availability. Book tickets here.
