San Simeon - Elephant Seal Beach

Album Info:
Elephant seals are large and loud -- when they aren't lying comatose in the sand. This fellow made lots of noise, which we captured in our movie of the day. The elephant seal breeding season begins in December, when the first males arrive. From fourteen to sixteen feet long and weighing up to 2 1/2 tons, these huge bulls engage in violent battles to establish dominance. The successful bulls do much of the breeding, with most of the duty falling on the "alpha" bull at the top of the social ladder. Elephant Seal Beach was an unexpected treat for us on our outing to Hearst Castle.
