Great photos, commentary and explanations - thank you for the follow-up. Living along Lake Huron, I have a family of otters who have taken up residence in the rocks below my dock; a far cry from the size and majesty of those beasts down in California, but enjoyable nonetheless to see snacking on crayfish, mussels and salmon.

Seals and sea lions belong to a group of marine mammals called pinnipeds (fin or flipper-footed). ...
