This bull is about seven years old. He is vocalizing.
They make a deep snorting sound that sounds something
like snoring. You can hear them from more than a mile
away. They reach full maturity in about eight years.
As it is he weighs over two tons. The largest males
may weigh over 2.5 tons. He had been in a serious
fight the day before. You can see the fresh wounds on
his neck. He seems to have found an isolated section
of the beach to recover.
