Elephant seals new born pups nurse on the Ocean beach at Piedras Blancas near HWY-1 California
Elephant seals new born pups nurse on the Ocean beach at Piedras Blancas near HWY-1 California, few miles North of San Simeon and Hearst Castle http://www.parks.ca.gov Birth In late December, the females begin to arrive and form "harems" on the beaches of the Reserve. Much smaller than the males, they average ten to twelve feet in length and weigh 1200 to 2000 pounds. Three to six days after she arrives, the female gives birth to the pup that was conceived the previous year. Normally only one pup is born to each female, and she nurses for 25 to 28 days. Nursing Ordinarily, a mother nurses her own pup, although if they are separated another female may adopt the youngster. Feeding on its mother #39;s rich milk (55% fat), the pup grows from approximately 75 pounds at birth to 250-350 pounds in less than a month. Some resourceful pups nurse from two or three females. They can weigh 600 pounds and are aptly called "super weaners". en.wikipedia.org http://www.elephantseal.org TilTul tiltul.com LinksYouWantToRemember CIMG1626 Elephant seals new born on the beach HWY 1 near Hearst Castle.MOVFrom:MultiBrowsersViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:26More inScience Technology
