Another photograph of a northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) “bull” bellowing on a foggy central California beach.
Partially obscured by coastal morning fog, this male elephant seal rears up on its foreflippers and bellows to intimidate other males and to survey its beach territory. Winter, Central California.
