They're pretty aggressive. And they stink. But, yeah, the baby harbor seals are super cute. One of the things I learned there was that it's pretty important not to get too close to them or feed them, or talk around them, etc. They get used to being around people pretty quickly, and it's dangerous for them.</p> http://sfist.com/2007/07/24/sfist_photo_ele.php#comment-1155692 http://sfist.com/2007/07/24/sfist_photo_ele.php#comment-1155692 Comments Wed, 25 Jul 2007 07:50:00 -0800 <p>They're fast, too! I used to volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center. I was cleaning a cage, with one of these guys in it. Turned my back on him, and in about 2 seconds, he had his mouth on my leg. Luckily I was wearing rain boots (thick with rubber) so no puncturing, but big and tubular doesn't mean slow! They're so cute, I love them!</p>
