Living Creatures

Elephant Seals of San Simeon California

Posted by Nick Carlson on 2/8/2006

These beautifully ugly seals flourish along California's central coast. During the winter they breed and lucky photographers might catch one giving birth. I wasn't so lucky, but I did capture some great images. Almost every mother had at least one pup and the fights between the territorial males are amazing. They also make the most interesting sounds.
