Elephant seal
Female elephant seals fight for space on the beach for themselves and their pups, and fend off other females who may try to steal their pups. The fights among females are less intense than those among bulls but are no less important in determining the social hierarchy of the rookery. Sandy beach rookery, winter, Central California. Piedras Blancas, San Simeon, USA, Elephant seal, Mirounga angustirostris. Copyright Phillip Colla, Oceanlight.com
