But I'd bet from the colouration = and size of the hind flippers that it is a young grey seal. Nostrils and teeth are more diagnostic. However if the attentive = female was a harbour seal then it may well be a harbour seal pup. Difficult one. D -----Original Message----- From: James W.

Well it's not a Harp , Hooded, Ribbon, Ringed, or Grey Seal pup because of the extensive spotting and it's size. Ranges make it = highly unlikely to be some of the other smaller northern seals. It's the right size and has the same motteled look of the young Harbour Seals. So my bet is that your Corect and it is a Harbour = Seal. Please let us all know when you get a chance to study the skull!

Can anyone confirm? http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/picture003.jpg <http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/picture003.jpg>=20 There were no apparent injuries to it, an attentive adult was just off shore when it was found by a friend of mine.
