I knew that title would catch your eye. Today we drove up route one along the coast. It was a beautiful ride.
We came across the hangout for a ton of elephant seals. In human terms you can probably compare them to a group of Homer Simpsons. As you can see by the picture, they are not overly ambitious.
We found a person named Joy who shared everything she knew about these lard butt smelly creatures. First, if you believe in reincarnation, pray you don't come back as a female Elephant Seal. I believe it would be totally dreadful.
Joy delighted in showing us a picture of mating sea lions. Trust me. ...it made even me blush. She even gave us a web site where they have Web cams set up and in February you can get online and watch this animal porn yourself. if you tune in in January you can watch the women give birth.
Here is how it goes......The women are pregnant for 11 months. They give birth to a sixty pound baby. They nurse the baby for one month. The baby seal gains 10 POUNDS PER DAY! After the month the Homers move in for a little romance. I hear it's very little. it's like wam bam and off to the next woman. I guess it's a free for all and who knows what baby belongs to which male. Just like humans you always know who the mother is.
So there you have it. Everything you always wanted to know. If you would like the Web Cam site I can hook you up.
The little seals in the picture are approx two years old. They aren't considered an adult I until they are four.
