Description
These juvenile Northern Elephant seals mock-fight and play near the surf at Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery on the coast of California.
Don't get too close, not only do these boys weigh about 600 lbs (272 kg) each, but they are very fast and those teeth can be deadly. Beyond the obvious danger, you may be surprised to know that it could cost $11,000 USD and up to one year in prison for anyone disturbing them enough to alter their natural behavior.
