The Valdes Peninsula of Argentina has 150,000 resident Southern Elephant Seals and we spent some time photographing them during our trip there. In this instance the young male on the right came over and was trying to get amorous with this young female. She wasn't too interested and after a couple of minutes was able to brush him off.

Looks like the young male needs to refine his approach, Nate. Great humor!
