Probably similar to me, must have been pups about or something, though I didn't see any. When I was younger I was walking along the rocks back home minding my own business, when this seal appeared from nowhere and made that noise that seals make. I'm going to call it horking. I'd have only been about 11 at the time, and I nearly jumped out of my skin when it horked at me. Immediately turned tail and ran away as fast as my 11 year old legs could carry me. Still get flashbacks every time I go back to that bit of the rocks.
