Description:

Old faithful! I identified her the first year of my study in 1988!! And have seen her regularly every summer since then. She used to have pups each summer but now seems to skip years (no pup this summer). She was a mature seal when I first saw her meaning she was at least 5 years old making her 27+ this summer. I think she is slipping into menopause and thoroughly enjoying it. She looks very healthy. She seeks out this exact spot on the haul out rock. Why she feels this is the primo, most "comfortable" spot is beyond me, but hey I am not a seal.
