Harbor Seal & Gray Seals

Phoca vitulina and Halichoerus grypus

These seals rest in numbers on the beaches of Cape Cod during low tide. As the tide comes in they reluctantly give up their sandy spots to hang out in the shallows during high tide.
The small seal in front is the Harbor Seal while the large seal in back is the Gray Seal.

Nice image of the 2 species, Ann. The size difference is impressive.
