❤Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤ We hope you spend it with a special someone, or 50 special someones if you’re a male elephant seal! Hey, we don’t judge. Older males will fight with one another to protect and mate with a group of females, or harem. One alpha male may mate with 30-50 females in a breeding season!
