Making a Good First Impression
August 29, 2015
Exhibiting his distinguishing facial features, a hooked-nosed sea pig (aka a grey seal) makes a good first impression on the beach-goers along Nauset Outer Beach.
The grey seal's Latin name is "Halichoerus grypus" meaning "hooked-nosed sea pig."
They are a favorite food of the great white shark. With seals numbering around 15,000 in southern Massachusetts, the National Seashore has become the go-to hunting ground for white sharks.
