This young elephant seal is what's known as a “weaner“ -- recently weaned and about 2-3 months old. I refer to it as “he“, but we really couldn't be sure what the gender was. The pink on his chest is penguin poop (krill-colored), not blood. Scroll down for more info, and watch this video to see additional scenes of this seal on the beach: I was part of an expedition with Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris, my second trip with them to Antarctica.
