Elephant Seals

Elephant seals come to the beaches near San Simeon this time of year to have their babies. It is quite an amazing site. By mid-January the beaches will be full of cute little (for an elephant seal) babies. We decided to take a trip up the coast to see them during our time off before New Years.



Soon this beach will be completely covered in seals.

There were already a few babies and they were so cute. This one was playing by mama and making all sorts of sounds.

The male seals have pretty funny looking faces.



As always, the whole group is on my Flickr account.
