Adolescent elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) feud as they bask the sun along the Central Coast of California, USA. These are juveniles and neither is much of a threat to the other, but when they become adults their fighting will become bloody as they fight for dominance and the right to mate with females. Adult males can reach four meters in length and weigh over 2, 000 kilograms. Once hunted to near-extinction, northern elephant seals now number close to 200, 000. | |
