San Simeon Elephant Seals

I visited the elephant seal vista point, located about 3-4 miles north of the Hearst Castle entrance off US 1. This was my first visit to see the elephant seals, and certainly not the last.

Ahahaaaaaaaaha! We come from the land of the ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow!

baby elephant seal
This little pup screamed at its mama several times, and she responded by continuing to sleep and occasionally flipping more beach sand onto her back. Well done, mama.

fighting elephant seals
These graceful seals are not playing — they’re fighting. And from the sounds of it, I would not want to be in the middle of that fight.

So I says, “What do you take me for, a sea lion!?! Hahahahaha!”
–That’s nice, dear. We’ve all heard it before…

seal surprise
Oh my gosh, I think I see a human, guys! Look! There it is!

Has anyone seen my Snuggie?
