The Baby Seal


In September, I was walking on a beach with my dad in Mukilteo, Washington. We saw a baby seal come up to lay on the beach. I was worried about the baby seal because I though the seal was chased by a shark. We just let it be and we told other people to keep away because it’s against the law to pet baby seals. The baby seal’s nose was kind of red because it had a little scrape on it.

We saw a scuba diver touch the baby seal. It's not good to be touching the baby seal because the baby seal is just laying on the beach and his mom is probably looking for some fish. She is probably coming back to feed the baby seal. And the baby seal was just resting there on the sandy beach.

For more information about what to do if you find a baby seal on the beach, check out the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at http://mmi.oregonstate.edu/ommsn/outreach/dos-donts
