Bookmarked 622 weeks ago this young elephant seal is what039s known as a quotweanerquot -- recently weaned and about 2-3 months old i refer to it as quothequot but we really couldn039t be sure what the gender was scroll down for more info and watch this video to see additional scenes of this seal on the beach: https:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=3lybbirm7pu i was part of an expedition with cheesemans039 ecology safaris my second trip with them to antarctica the excellent cheesemans039 staff made sure that all expedition members understood and followed the rules for visiting this wilderness: no food no waste maintenance of distance from the wildlife and appropriate behavior around the animals we were directed and reminded that we should walk slowly at all times and not disturb or touch any of the wildlife on the islands and mainland of the antarctic peninsula the required distance is 30 feet 10 meters from a nesting colony of penguins or other birds and 15 feet 5 meters from quotloafingquot animals but if wildlife approaches you closer proximity is allowed there is no baiting feeding or approaching the animals to facilitate interaction with visitors all close interaction happens by chance and is initiated by the animal itself we landed at livingston island to observe a gentoo penguin colony and there were also adult elephant seals lounging on the beach i wasn039t expecting to see such a young elephant seal pup and that039s why i sat down to watch and photograph this little guy as soon as i saw him come onto the beach i was thrilled when he approached me none of us who were privileged by his company reached out to touch or pet him -- we let him touch us and interact with us and stay or leave as he wanted i think if we hadn039t had to go back to our ship when we did he would have stayed there and taken a long nap next to usthis encounter was a high point of an amazing expedition that included the falkland islands south georgia island and the antarctic peninsula information about cheesemans039 ecology safari expeditions around the world is available at: wwwcheesemanscom my husband039s fine art photography from this and from an earlier trip to the southern ocean can be seen at: wwwstevegouldphotographycomi was using a canon vixia hf m500 camcorder with an external rode microphone this video was edited with premiere elements 11for licensingusage please contact: licensingatjukinmediacom |
