Description:

Sorry this is a tough image, but I greatly admire this seal. I first saw E.T. as a juvenile in 2003 ..he had the small dark puncture wounds on his belly but not the growth on his eye (possibly a papilloma virus). In 2005 he showed up with the growth, he has returned every summer and the growth has gotten slightly larger each year. Otherwise he looks plump, so must manage to feed himself just fine. He is a gentle soul allowing pups to get close without snapping at them and his face has beautiful proportions. He endures.
