So far I have only posted pics of common (harbor) seals, which are the majority of the seals we have here. But we also have grey seals, and I worked with them for the first time today. They are much darker, there noses are farther apart and the snout is a bit longer. The grey seal pups seem to have a bit more personality; they are very alert and watch people around the tank closely, and will pull themselves up next to you to watch what you are doing. While the common seals mostly swallow their food, the grey seals play with it. They toss the fish around, shake it, and tear it to bits. They are much messier, but they are so cute it is worth cleaning up after.
