Description
These lovely ladies, smiling for their portrait, are a pair of Northern elephant seal cows (Mirounga angustirostris) who’ve hauled out onto a California beach for their annual spring “catastrophic” molt. No, moulting is not a catastrophe for elephant seals! Shedding all their fur along with their epidermal skin is a natural process that reveals a fresh new coat of fur beneath.
