OK, I'll say this once: Cape Fur Seals need renaming. In fact, I think all "fur seals" need renaming. They are Sealions.
Life's rough, isn't it? This guy looks like he's having a *real* tough day (note the heavy sarcasm...). He's just a big, blubbery blob watching over his harem. Taken at the Piedras Blancas elephant seal rookery.
Some shots I recently took of some seals on Bull Island in Dublin, Ireland. Two types of seals can be found on the Island and around Dublin bay, the grey seal and the common seal.
I think these are common seals although I may be wrong.
The largest elephant seal rookery on the West Coast is located about a mile south of the Piedros Blancas lighthouse along California Highway One. A large parking area and boardwalk offer easy access to view the elephant seals. Docents from Friends of the Elephant Seal provide insight as to what the visitor is viewing. Open year round.
