the mighty elephant seal


Male elephant seal napping on the beach.
I think elephant seals are one of the most bizarre creatures ever. 
It's all open sea and deep diving for strange ocean creatures for most of the year, then fighting, mating (hopefully) and sleeping.
Look at all the scars on his face.
