EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by Francois Gohier, we witness a comical gathering of Northern Elephant Seal youngsters at the Piedras Blancas colony on California's stunning coast. These adorable pinnipeds are taking their molting process very seriously - or maybe not so seriously! With their fluffy fur falling off in patches, these young seals resemble a group of mischievous teenagers trying out new hairstyles. Their expressive faces and captivating eyes tell tales of mischief and curiosity as they explore their surroundings. It seems like they're having an absolute blast during this transformative phase! As residents of the Pacific Ocean, these marine mammals know how to make waves both literally and figuratively. From their playful antics to their undeniable charm, it's no wonder why tourists flock to see them up close. Francois Gohier has truly captured the essence of these beach bums with his incredible photography skills. This print is a delightful reminder that even in nature, there's always room for some lighthearted fun. So grab your sunglasses and join these adorable seal pups as they soak up the sun along California's coast! Just remember - don't forget your sunscreen because you might end up molting too!
