seal at seal beach.
Going out on a limb to save a seal that rests in sand can be very dangerous. We should always inform ourselves about something especially an animal before we try to save the day. Paula, Jesus and I went to the beach two nights ago and before I 'bravely' attempted to dip my feet into the ocean, people on the pier above us yelled, "There's a seal! There's a seal!" I did not imagine the seal to be so close or even in beach public beach property, but it was. Lying atop the cold moist sand that seal beach neighbors run on and where toddlers build castles! The people above annoyingly told us to push the seal back into the water, but it was too scary, and my internet wasn't working in order to research seals. Minutes later, a lady came to try and do what no one should do; she tried to push the seal back in and in the attempt the seal growled at her and showed us that seal's can be dangerous with its sharp teeth. My advice to you; do not try to play hero, leave it to professionals because you could get hurt and that would be a shame.
