Talk to the Trunk - When this Northern Elephant Seal opens its mouth, you better listen!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Francois Gohier, we witness a truly jaw-dropping moment in Central California's wildlife. This male elephant seal takes center stage as he showcases his impressive communication skills and threatens his rivals with a roar that can be heard for miles. With its head held high and nose raised proudly, this marine mammal means business. His open mouth seems to say, "I'm not just talking; I'm ROARING!". It's clear that he is determined to establish dominance in the pinniped world. This close-up shot captures every detail of our protagonist's expressive face - from his wrinkled forehead to those powerful jaws. While some might describe him as ugly or intimidating, there's no denying the sheer force behind his threat posture. As an American native residing in North America, this charismatic seal knows how to make himself heard. Whether it's calling out for attention or asserting his authority over others, he certainly has mastered the art of vocalization. So next time you encounter an elephant seal like FG-10284 on your beach stroll along Central California's coastlines, remember one thing: when he talks (or rather roars), everyone listens!
