A little sea lion pup snoozing on a much bigger sea lion. Yup, the pup is resting its head on the big sea lion.

Another sea lion pup looking real cute.

Pretty sure this is Plucky, our favorite sea otter.
Go, Plucky, go!

Seal beach pups and a few friends

There were a bunch of really cute seals and their pups on the seal beach by Hopkins Marine Station today. The pups are starting to be weaned and some of them still want to nurse.

A big elephant seal up on the beach. It’s starting to molt.
Lots of molting action on this sea elephant.
Just look at this cutie! Look at those cute eyes!
