The inborn traits of the elephant seals that start from the moment the pup is born become more refined as the weaners grow older.

These traits include:
a/ sand-flipping
b/ snorting
c/ yawning
d/ emitting different vocalizations
e/ raising a fore-flipper
f/ bending over backwards ( females )
g/ pointing their noses skyward ( males )
h/ mock fighting ( males )

And I thought this seal was straightening the tie of the other for the photo session
Your shots are most interesting in the land life of these seals.
