Wow. I figured that was going to be some remote island in the Pacific or something. The fact that this is right in the middle of the megalopolis of the East Coast is pretty amazing.

DNA testing shows they're descended from Canadian stocks. I've seen these in person many times in the last five years, as they might be seen all along the cape, at any water line on any given day. But I never got up close to them, so I was surprised to read how big they are. Perspective is skewed at the shore without anything to reference for size, like humans or cars.
