Seal or River Otter?

I'm not sure what animal this is...maybe a seal? We've been choosing hikes by their ease of walking d/t my back being messed up again and saw this swimming in the river pretty far away. His snout almost looks like a pig but he has a long body and tail. Any guesses? I bet he’s a river otter...not curious like a seal
Has anyone ever had a lens fall OFF their camera before. Mine did as we were walking along and fell onto the pavement. Yikes was I ever freaked out. What an eerie sound. It seems to still work...my favorite 100-400 mm lens.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs. So sorry to be behind in commenting

Never seen a seal with such eyebrows but what do I know.

Great shot

An otter perhaps?

[Lou Ann]

Wow! I have no idea, quite a capture! So hope your lens is okay, I would freak out too.

[KV]

A mini loch ness monster??? Just kidding... what eyebrows it has. I can't believe that your lens fell off... hope it is ok.

[Kate]

Yikes! Hope your lens is okay. If it wasn't for those eyebrows (or horns) I'd guess a river otter.

[Mags]

Amazing capture! Looks like a seal to me too.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Ai, I hope the lens is okay. Nice capture. I am clueless of what it can be.

Nice lighting. I believe it might be a sea lion... The ones in Portland Harbor look just like that... but it could be a seal. I would put money against an otter but that is just my opinion.

I'm leaning toward river otter, but those are not something that I see down here. :-) Never had a lens fall off, and sure hope it doesn't happen. That would definitely have been a scary moment. Hope it keeps working.

We had otters in the creeks near where we used to live, but they never had eyebrows like this. How unusual.

I’m going for Loch Ness monster. What are the spiky things on the head?

[Diana]

It sure has weird eyebrows for a seal. How amazing for a lens to fall off, you are so lucky that it is still working. Hope it stays that way.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Okay, so that totally looks like a sea monster. Nelly??

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I'd have thought otter, but not sure

[Steve Jacob]

I'd go with otter too

[Jean]

those eyebrows!

[haskar]

Well caught. Beautiful shot. I'm sorry your lens fell off. Hope it will work.

[Allison Maltese]

So sorry about your lens. Yikes. I am not sure what this critter is, but he looks like he is happily swimming along.

[sheri]

I thought it was a dragon at first, with the eyebrows.
