A popular seal is on track to break a local record for most successful consecutive births. The seal, whose fanbase named her Dotty McScarbelly, Dotty for short, can be found at Hopkins Marine Station Beach in Pacific Grove, and is currently pregnant with her twelfth pup— a record for the hundreds of seals monitored by the Bay Net, The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Kathy Nolet, a volunteer for Bay Net, describes Dotty as the mom of all mom seals.
Advertisement “She is the absolute no-nonsense mom. She knows what to do, when to do it, how to do it. She knows the whole area where she wants to be. And she has her pup every year right here at Hopkins Cove,” she said.
Experts said that over a 10-year period, a female seal will have seven successful births and that a lot of it is attributed to the quality of their environment.

Nolet explained why she believes Hopkins Cove is perfect for these mother seals.
“This is the best place for them. It's a huge beach. It's protected by this fence. And we get lots of seals here. We can have up to 200 on this beach," she said.
Dotty the seal has also gained quite a fan base with people from all around the world. Many stay up to date with her on social media and take a visit to catch a glimpse of her in person. Experts continue to keep them updated on Dotty, pointing out that she’s healthy and in great shape.
“She sleeps good during the day, She hunts great at night. She's in good shape. So she knows and she's very safe out there,” said Nolet.
Dotty is currently around the beginning of her second trimester and is expected to give birth to her 12th pup sometime in April 2024.
She’s better steer clear of the all-white ‘supremacist’ orca in Monterey.
Definitely has CA beach values .
What’s the big deal, this sort of thing happens all the time in the inner city, and with loose liberal white women; the only difference is the seal’s keeping the baby.
Very interesting.
Apparently so.
You mean Californication doesn’t have abortion clinics for female seals? How dare they???
Slut.
She NEEDS to learn to keep her flippers closed!
/s
lol! 👍
lol
Ya know, it’s a cross between a dog and a fish.
Where are the people expressing revulsion, like they have toward me? Is anyone calling Dotty a “womb-whore”?
And she's not on welfare.
Dotty is a hussy!
Slut!
Tramp! ;-)
