This guy was not easy to photograph, especially after sunset. He would swim under water for a long period and no telling where he would surface. Taken at Ventura Harbor.

When Elephant Seals get bored they might shake it up a bit and do a little fighting or sparing as they call it. (I just made that all up except that the fighting is called sparing even though it is just for practice.)
On the way down to Paso Robles we stopped to visit the elephant seals in San Simeon. They are always entertaining!
Donna Nook 2014
For much of the year grey seals at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trusts’ Donna Nook National Nature Reserve are at sea or hauled out on distant sandbanks.
Every November and December, the seals give birth to their pups near the sand dunes: a wildlife spectacle which attracts visitors from across the UK
There were shit loads of seals sleeping on the rocks. You could walk right by them and they barely stirred.

A Leopard Seal poses for the camera on an ice-flow in the Lemaire Channel, Antarctic Peninsula. This image was taken during my 2014/2015 Antarctic season working with Quark Expeditions from 7th November 2014 to 21st January 2015
Elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) at Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal View Point, San Simeon, California.
My husband and I spent an breezy morning watching the Atlantic seal on the rookery although we were disappointed that there seemed to be fewer this year than last.
This old bull hauled out of the sea and was on the look out for females and a fight if necessary with other bulls.
This video was taken on Horsey beach in north Norfolk last Christmas. The Grey Seals give birth along the beach every year and its a spectacular sight to see!
This little seal launched itself onto a ledge at the marina across from me around noon Mar17. I watched it all day. At first it seemed to be sunbathing, but then it lay down, and got stiller and stiller as the day progressed. Around 4, a man noticed it and stood above it looking down. it looked up at him, and then over at him when he moved further away. I waited until 6ish, then approached quietly from downwind and took 2 quick pictures. He didn't move. I'm not certain if I can see puncture wounds on the close up or not. (next pic) He still hadn't moved at dark, and we were so sure we'd see his lifeless body the next morning.
However, he was gone at daybreak, and we hope the long rest revitalized him and he is OK.
