Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:39:00 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
A young elephant seal pup lies on sandy beach terrain with its mouth wide open, appearing to vocalize or call out. The animal's distinctive wrinkled neck and chest are prominently visible, showing the characteristic folds of elephant seal anatomy. The dark, wet-looking skin contrasts with the lighter sandy background. The pup appears to be in a resting position with flippers tucked, caught mid-vocalization with visible whiskers and tongue. The shallow depth of field and natural lighting create an intimate wildlife portrait.
