Ecological

• Bernard, the dominant male elephant seal, continues to protect the two pups by scaring off the other males from trying to mate with the pups or kill them. It is surprising and unusual behaviour for a male elephant seal but I am grateful for his protection!
• The elephant seal pups enjoyed a splash in their first puddle today. They should be ready to head into the ocean sometime in the next few weeks.
