We had just arrived at the Elephant Seal lookout near Piedras Blancas Lighthouse off CA Highway 1, near San Simeon (and Hearst Castle). We were lucky to witness and record a remarkable event -- a mother's labor and a baby's birth! As of 7/23/08 this video is now featured on Friends of Elephant Seals website.

  • Beautiful photography of a natural wonder. I like the mom's sounds and how she begins nurturing the newborn right away.

  • Thanks for the comment, I have more "before" and "after" footage. Since you like the nurturing, I'll post another video soon showing some of her nurturing and bonding (with some still shots taken at the same time.)
