Elephant Seal's Battling,

Elephant Seal's at Piedras Blanca Rookery, San Simeon. About 25,000 of of them use seven miles of beaches in this area that is protected for them.

Elephant Seal's spend most of their life at sea. They come ashore three times a year (1) for birthing and breeding (2) molting time (3) fall haul out.

I have been at several different times of the year. There has always been at least a few of them on the beach.
