    This is the first time i saw any animal mother popping out an entire amniotic sac intact. It looked like the baby would suffocate in there. Seems like seagulls aren't exactly a nuisance but actual midwives for Harbor seals (seen in other vids too).

    How close were you? Such remarkable footage. I'm hoping this is zoomed to give mama plenty of room for a critical moment.

      Thank you John for your concern. I am about 100 yards away, using a telephone lens while up on a elevated sidewalk. I am actually in the process of documenting marine mammal disturbance and understand completely how important it is to give seal moms there space.

      @@ExperienceWildlife Thanks for the response, Jennifer. I dug a little deeper and discovered that you are teaching others how to do ethical photography. THANK YOU! As a wildlife rescue professional, these topics are very important to me, and even more so to the animals!

    Cares for it? Was this her first pup? She acted like she wanted nothing to do with the poor guy. I was holding my breath thinking he was going to suffocate in the sack
