SFist Photo: Elephant Seal Pup from Marin County

A portly pinneped pup from Point Reyes that could grow up to become 5000 pounds. Oh my.

This lonely-looking Northern Elephant Seal wasn't too far away from its colony when we saw it on Drake's Beach at the Point Reyes National Seashore. It's gone now but it will be back with all the others soon. Read all about it here and remember to stay at least 100 feet away from these animules if you ever have an encounter. You don't want to bug them, and you never know if an individual with the size and personality of Nibbles is lurking about. Stay safe.
