Mother and Pup Elephant Seals Resting on Beach
Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:29:21 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
Two elephant seals lie on a sandy beach - a large adult with characteristic light gray skin and a smaller, darker-colored pup positioned close together. The mother appears to be resting with her eyes closed while the younger seal, still bearing its black natal coat, remains nearby. The beach setting is misty and overcast, with scattered debris visible on the sand and a hazy coastline in the background. The intimate scene captures a quiet moment of rest during the breeding season at this coastal elephant seal colony.
