Paul Torola's birthday party  recently with his family (Dave & Ann's)

At the Piedras Blancas viewing point north of Morrow Bay.  Elephant seals as far as the eye could see.  They made such a racket with their barking, snorting and honking.  The come to this shore to give birth, eventually breed again, and when the babies are large enough, they head back to Alaska.

The males can weigh two tons or more, and their noses are so huge and long, is why they are called elephant seals.
When the babies (pups) are born, they weigh from 60 to 80 lbs., gain up to 10 lbs. a day. It was an awesome sight and sound.  I hope this video works.
