This picture isn’t pretty but it shows the harsh reality of nature. This poor elephant seal pup was rolled over by a large male and unfortunately died. The skuas made pretty quick work of the carcass. There are elephant seal pups being born on the beach every day. Unfortunately some do not make it. The other day we saw one that had been abandonned by its mother it was getting weaker everyday without milk. The jeeps and skua actually started eating him while he was still alive as he didn’t have the strength to scare them away. Sorry for the downer posting today….
