Along California's Scenic Coastal Highway 1, you'll find a pull off area that provides free viewing of Northern Elephant Seals in their natural habitat. Just North of San Simeon you can view from an elevated platform / walkway these magnificent sea mammals, moulting, fighting, breeding, giving birth and raising their pups, depending on the time of year.
More information including live web cams can be found at https://elephantseal.org/
On this day I captured this encounter, and I'm guessing her objection was that she was already pregnant!
