Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:51:17 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
A young elephant seal pup is captured mid-vocalization with its mouth wide open, displaying its dark mouth cavity and characteristic features. The pup is positioned on sandy beach terrain, with its plump, light-colored body clearly visible. In the background, another seal is out of focus, and the beach environment extends into a soft, hazy horizon. The image captures the expressive nature of these marine mammals during their time ashore, likely during the breeding or molting season at this protected coastal location.
