Went to Ano Nuevo State Park near Santa Cruz this weekend. The elephant seals are there, birthing, mating, fighting and just laying around. We got to within 25 feet of these amazing animals. The males are huge! Topping out at nearly 5,000 pounds.
Fantastic set and this is something I'd never get to see!!
Thanks for sharing!
There is also a large seasonal colony near the Hearst Castle near San Simeon CA :thumbup:
