Description
Not far from the dominate bull guarding his harem, this male Northern Elephant seal enjoyed watching females sunbathe on golden sand under the California sun.
He can watch, but he'll have a fight if he attempts to mate with one of those sleek females. So long as this subordinate stays at least 15 feet away from the 4,000 pound dominate male, he can look all he wants and maybe, if he's lucky, sneak a quick rendezvous with a lady while the master bull is busy - maybe that explains why he looks so happy.
