Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway in California, we spotted a colony of elephant seals. We worked our way down to the beach, sat on a rock and watched as they swam and played.

A face only a mother could love? These two elephant seals from the Pacific coast of California were having a great time playing in the water, and we had a great time watching.

This marmot apparently made a living by stealing food from backpackers in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park. If he's had his way, our dinner would have been his.

We had to keep a close eye on this marmot that found us while backpacking in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park. He, like we, had dinner on his mind!

This squirrel in Santa Monica had ventured farther out from the main body of the large plant than the others, but will still close to the opening of a tunnel.

This gator, near the shore of Lake Alice on the University of Florida campus, was fun to watch. Anytime another gator approached, he would chase them off, then come back to look for food.
