Elephant Seal Family Resting on Sandy Beach
Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:29:10 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
Multiple elephant seals hauled out on a sandy beach, with at least one smaller pup visible among larger adults. The seals display the characteristic wrinkled, grey-brown skin and robust bodies typical of the species. They rest peacefully on pale sand with the ocean visible in the soft-focused background. The overcast sky creates diffused, even lighting across the scene. The scarring visible on the adult seals' bodies tells stories of past battles and ocean life.
