Elephant seals – so big you can’t see them

You guessed it these are big and ugly and have a trunk like nose. OK, it is only a short stubby one, but you get the idea.

The bull seals are big, really big, think 3m and 3-4 tonne. Now you would think that something this big would be kinda hard to miss right?

So here I am walking along, looking everywhere but the road when I hear a yell. I look back and there is this HUGE elephant seal lying on the road. I nearly tripped over the thing, I just didn’t see it! In my defence, it was road coloured and I wasn’t really looking. It would have been hilarious though if I did trip on it and fall flat on my face. Jo laughed lots.
