The Gray Seals (Halichoerus grypus) are protected and their population has exploded. As a result they've become a tourist attraction, especially in the Chatham and Harwich areas. This creates an income possibility for some and aggravation for others. Fishermen aren't happy with the seals because they eat a lot of fish.
These are large seals. The males can be over 800 pounds and the females over 500 pounds when grown. Males live to about 30 years and females to about 40 years of age. The seals we saw on the seal cruise ranged from youngsters to gargantuan males. They are curious and spent time looking at us, but I wouldn't feel comfortable falling in the ocean among them.
They are called horse-heads by the locals, and I think they look a lot like the Edward Gorey creatures in the Doubtful Guest.

I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....

All those bobbing heads! Great way to present them.
Carol Senske replied:
The comeback of these seals made it possible for the white sharks to become more numerous as well. Nature at work. :>)

A sweet collage of images.
Carol Senske replied:
This was a fun day - we saw no sharks, fortunately, and the seals were playful and curious. Thanks for coming by!

Ah, bless them! Lovely animals and a great collage!
Carol Senske replied:
They really are amazing to watch as they swim - very acrobatic and agile! Thanks, Kathryn.
Carol Senske
Randy - my thanks for the feature! You're so generous:>)
Bruce Carpenter
awesome collage! beautiful creatures even if they brought the white sharks! f/v
Carol Senske replied:
Their agility is mind-boggling for such big creatures; loads of fun to watch. This was high tide when the seals are mostly in the water. Low tide is their favored time to haul out. Thank you for taking a moment to stop by, and thanks for the wonderful comment, vote, and fave:>). Wish I had seen a shark!

I was hoping you got seal pictures, what a marvelous collage. 800 pounds, wow I'd be scared to get my feet wet in that ocean,. nice work my friend.
Doris Potter
Nice work Carol! I saw seals last weekend during a whlale-watching excursion. The seals seemed to watch the whales just like all the rest of us!
Carol Senske replied:
Aren't the marine mammals (all of them) just the best! The whales are magnificent; the porpoise are such fun; the seals are agile and curious:>)
