Decomposing seal, weeks 1 and 2


Two weeks ago I came across this dead, decomposing seal caught in a logjam near the confluence of the Multnomah Channel with the Willamette River. It was chewed a bit on top.

Last week I came across it again. It was upriver of where I saw it the first time, and on shore, on the riprap almost at the confluence. Much more of it has been eaten. Hmmm, in the wild it looked like a seal and I think was as least four feet long and meaty. Here in the photo its face looks more fish-like.
