You won't find this egg in your Easter basket.

This is a horn shark egg case. You’ll have to venture into rocky reefs or kelp forests off the California coast from Santa Barbara southward to find these. Horn sharks lay eggs in crevices or nooks in rocks for safekeeping until the baby shark is ready to hatch. The theory is that the spiral/ corkscrew shape of the egg helps to keep it in place.

This egg was floating in the water with a crack in it so the baby likely hatched or was part of the circle of life.

🦦⛵

Photographing this sea otter mom and pup otter was no easy feat. The surf was picking up and the currents were coming in strong. Throw in being in a double kayak and I'm pretty amazed I was actually able to get an image where the mom and pup were in focus. Throw in the sailboat and mountain in the background and it's pretty darn picturesque.

Young otter pup fur is so wooly and thick, they are too buoyant to dive underwater. So before mom dives to forage for food, she wraps the pup in a piece of kelp to keep it anchored and prevent it from floating away. It takes 8–10 weeks for the pup to shed its initial fur and learn to dive and the pup stays with the mother for up to six months after birth.

This image was photographed using a telephoto lens and cropped during editing. It's important to give wild animals ample space for your and their protection.

Should I tell her she has something in her teeth? 🦭

This momma harbor seal was patiently waiting for her playful and curious pup that became interested in the people on the breaker wall. She took the opportunity to rest her eyes while the pup was circling around in the water.

This image was taken with a telephoto lens at 200mm and later cropped in post processing to make the harbor seal take up the whole frame.

Sea potato 🌊🥔

More commonly known as the manatee. West Indie Manatees congregate in large numbers at Three Sisters Springs, Florida when the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico drops below a certain threshold.⠀
⠀
Despite their rotund body shape, they actually do not have a lot of body fat on them. They come to the springs to conserve energy and to stay warm 🥶⠀

Manatees also have terrible eyesight. It's thought that they may be nearsighted and only able to distinguish shapes and shadows. Researchers think that manatees navigate by their sense of touch. Manatees are covered in whisker-like hairs called vibrissae. The hair follicles trigger nerve impulses when moved. Each follicle connects to around 50 nerves, which signal the brain of increased pressure from any surrounding motion.

Who doesn't love a good leopard print?

Did you know Leopard Shark markings are as unique to them as fingerprints are to us? This unique natural camouflage helps protect them by allowing them to blend in better to their typical surroundings, which includes kelp forests and rocky ocean beds.

One of my favorite turtle pics

I love this photo. I took it a couple of years back on an incredibly clear day when visibility was around 40+ feet. Clarity that we get only a couple of times a year here in San Diego. I slipped in the water as the sun was creeping over the cliffs.
The surface was glassy and there was no surge to be felt. This turtle was swimming over the sand for some reason and stopped at a very small patch of red algae to munch on.

A harbor seal mom and pup nuzzle in the water

Harbor seal moms are incredibly affectionate towards their pups and develop a strong bond quickly after birth. You'll often see them nuzzling noses in the water while they float around like little bobbers. Their affection does not extend past their progeny though. Harbor seals prefer to have their personal space when not nursing a pup.

Milk drunk harbor seal pup

It's one of the best times of year in San Diego. Harbor Seal pupping season. The pup pictured was about an hour old and it already accomplished so much. It was born, fended off scary seagulls, went for a swim with mom, and had its first drink from mom before passing out into a deep slumber.

This image was taken with a 200-600mm telephoto lens. It's extremely important to maintain a respectful distance from the Harbor Seals this time of year. The mothers are incredibly cautious and will abandon their pup if they perceive a threat. This year at least 2 pups have been abandoned (and rescued by Sea World)

I witnessed a near abandoning yesterday when a surfer decided it was ok to run past three feeding mothers, 2 resting seals, and a harbor seal in labor. It caused each one of them to rush off the beach, which resulted in a pup and a mother separating. It took nearly ten minutes before the mother and pup to be reunited.
