A kiddie pool of weaners (elephant seal pups being weaned by their moms). One evening we spend four hours walking along the beach 🏝 and watching these guys. They were so fascinating that we returned the next day to watch them some more! - This pool of brackish water was particularly entertaining to watch. Seals move really slow on land and need to take quite a few breaks when moving from one spot to the next. The seals on the bank would watch the seals playing in the water 💦 and, after calculating the reward of migrating to the pool with the effort of doing so, would join them. These pools are a safe place for weaners to hone swimming skills. - We also found some more flowers 🌸 and watched a beautiful sunset 🌅!
