This wildlife photograph captures elephant seals hauled out on a sandy beach. In the foreground, a lighter-colored seal rests on its side, while in the middle ground a small dark pup lies between adults. A large adult elephant seal with characteristic thick, wrinkled skin dominates the right portion of the frame. The wet, textured sand shows evidence of the seals' movements, and the scene conveys the peaceful coexistence of these marine mammals during their time ashore.
