Valentine’s Day often seems to bring the pups!
Harbor seals have been recorded diving in excess of 600 feet and staying underwater more than 30 minutes. Most foraging dives are just a few minutes. When diving, the seals’ heart rates can slow to only four- to six-beats per minute, and blood is diverted to the heart, lungs and brain. Seals exhale before diving, storing oxygen in blood and muscle rather than the lungs.
Disturbances Visitors
The seals were frightened by a powered hang glider, a beach jogger and a nearby fishing boat.
Over 1,758 people enjoyed watching the seals, especially the new pups and moms. Represented places included Australia, Germany, Korea, Argentina, france, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Arizona, New Hampshire, pennsylvania, Washington, illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, New york, Montana, idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, Maine, Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, Arkansas, Utah, Massachusetts, indiana and Washington DC.
