I’ve posted quite a few photos of elephant seals before but I keep finding new ones that I like. This mother was protecting her newborn pup from other agitated seals that were sharing space on the beach (and perhaps from the close approach of a photographer — the only one on the deserted beach last winter near the small town of San Simeon, California).
