Charlie and the Seal!
Saturday 12 April 2014
When photographer Charlie Bird decided he wanted to photograph seal pups he decided to get as close up to them as possible. One of the elephant seal pups became rather inquisitive and before Charlie knew it he was getting more attention than he had bargained for. Not only that, one of the pups friend’s decides to join in too.
Good job for Charlie that it was just an elephant seal pup. If dad had decided to show interest too, he would have been in trouble. Southern elephant seal bulls typically reaching a length of 16 ft (4.9 m) and a weight of 6,600 lb (3,000 kg).
