We drove down to see the Elephant Seals.
Every year they migrate to the beach to have their babies, get pregnant again and head back out to sea until it is time to do it again. Remind me to never wish to be an elephant seal!!! The males have a "trunk" and are huge! they can weigh up to 5000 lbs. There were hundreds of them and really interesting to see. They were just a few feet away from us, makes you forget they are wild..
