This wildlife photograph captures a group of elephant seals hauled out on the sand at Drakes Beach. The seals display varying colors from light tan to dark brown and black, lying in relaxed positions on the beach. One seal has its head raised, appearing to vocalize. In the background, five white seagulls stand at the water's edge, and gentle waves create white foam as they wash onto shore. The scene conveys the peaceful coexistence of marine life in their natural coastal habitat during what appears to be the pupping season.
