Elephant Seal: Sea elephants, as these seals are sometimes called, give birth in late winter to a single pup and nurse it for approximately a month. While suckling their young, females do not eat—both mother and child live off the energy stored in ample reserves of her blubber. Females give birth to a single pup each year after an 11-month pregnancy.

One of the things that I miss the most about not being in California for the start of a new year, is that I can't take my annual trip to Año Nuevo State Reserve to see the northern elephant seals. This shot is from a trip there last January, when I saw this bull chase a rival off of his beach. If you live in northern California and haven't visited the seals yet, I highly recommend that you reserve your tickets for a Seal Walk now! Blog | Facebook Page
