## Caption

A day at the beach just got a whole lot cuter.

It’s pupping season on the Pacific Coast, which means you might spot a baby harbor seal pup on the sand, in the water or tucked into a rocky alcove.

Officials hazard against approaching seal pups and ask that you look admire their cuteness from a distance. It can seem like a seal pup has been stranded or is alone, but mother seals often go out to hunt and come back for their pups. 🦭
