Seals and Sea Lions - by Luke

There are many types of seals and sea lions off the Oregon Coast.  One of them is the Harbor Seal.  It is gray with black or gray spots.  Another is the Stellar Seal, which is gray and brown.  It has a mane and it looks like a lion.  It is about the size of a pickup truck.  The Elephant Seal is gray.  It is larger than a pickup truck and weighs about 5,000 pounds.  A final sea lion is the California Sea Lion.  These are the most known sea lions that do tricks, like at Sea World.  They are slightly larger than the Harbor Seal.  There are many aquatic animals off the coast of Oregon.

Today we visited Simpson Reef Overlook.  It was foggy, but in the distance we could see many seals and sea lions.  All four of these animals haul out at Simpson Reef!
