This in turn, helps us understand a bit about his preferred habitats.<\/p>\n<p>Bronx is splitting time between foraging trips at two haulout locations (red circles on image below) &#8211; one near the southeast tip of the outer Cape not far from Chatham, and the other off North Truro near a location called High Hill. Both are known grey seal haulouts and the northernmost is proximate to a location just offshore that Bronx seems to be spending a large amount of time foraging within (blue circle). The image below illustrates these two locations, and the nexus of tracks that criss-cross just offshore of North Truro. I wonder what seal-goodies are found out there?<\/p>\n[photo size=&#8217;large&#8217; link=&#8217;http:\/\/superpod.ml.duke.edu\/johnston\/files\/2012\/10\/bronxall.png&#8217; icon=&#8217;zoom&#8217; lightbox=&#8217;image&#8217;]http:\/\/superpod.ml.duke.edu\/johnston\/files\/2012\/10\/bronxall.png[\/photo]\n<p>This must be a popular hangout for grey seals &#8211; check out the video below that gives a great perspective of the seals hauled out there.
