I suppose it is a close-up taken from a cliff above or these sea-otters are so familiar they let you approach them so easily?

You are right, I zoomed the shot from a cliff above and beyond that it's an enlarged detail.

But these aren't any sea-otters but seals. I am not sure if they are Common Seals ("Seehunde" in German) or Horsehead Seals("Kegelrobben" in German). Perhaps someone who is better in biology than me can helps to identify them?
