The elephant seals at Point Piedras Blancas were crazy. We didn't know we were going to see this. We were driving down 101 and saw these things sunning themselves on the beach. The "Elephant Seal Docent" told me the seals are molting their skin. They will lay around for 4-6 weeks as they molt. After that, they will swim north to find food. This is only one of a few beaches covered with them.
What a sight! Looks like they are all dead. Hope they don't smell as bad as the sea lion caves.
