An Elephant Seal gives birth at Piedras Blancas beach near San Simeon CA. After this video was taken, the "midwife" and the mother appeared to fight over the baby.
If you're a woman, I suppose you wish childbirth was this easy -- just wag your "tail' and beat the kid on the ground until he squirts out.
We stayed at San Simeon Pines Resort which is a great location -- a very short walk to the beach. It has a golf course, shuffleboard, and very nice landscaping. The beach with the seals was roughly 10 miles up the road on highway 1. I believe the seals are there most of the year, but the babies are born in January or so (when the video was taken).
