This is the time of year that the elephant seals come ashore to give birth to their pups. There is a large rookery just north of San Simeon near Piedra Blancas lighthouse right on Highway 1. Here are some photos taken a year ago. The large bulls can weigh as much as 5000 pounds and are very territorial. Check out this web site for more information and photos! www.elephantseal.org/
