Thank you for the photo while keeping your distance from these beautiful animals.

What we have here my fellow New Jerseyan's is a fucking Harbor Seal.

Some fun facts: 1.Evidence of their presence ... is consistent with both the fossil record as well as a few landmarks named for them during colonization: Robbin's Reef, off of Bayonne, New Jersey, gets its name from the Dutch word robben, meaning "seals". 2.Protected species in the sense it is illegal to hunt or harass them in the United States. 3. I think they are super cute.
