Young elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) feud as they bask in the sun along the Central Coast of California, USA. These are juveniles and are not much of a threat to each other, but their fighting will become bloody as they fight for dominance when they become adults. Adult males can reach 4 meters in length and weigh over 2, 000 kilograms. Once hunted to near-extinction, northern elephant seals now number close to 200, 000. | |
