Update from Marion Island by Mammal Field Assistan

Update from Marion Island by Mammal Field Assistant, Tammy Eggeling:

#Repost - @tammyswildlife
Yip, still hanging out with 3-6 tonne giants.

Elephant seal breeding season has begun!

These adult males have arrived on Marion island recently & will compete to take possession of preferred beaches & the females hauling out to breed... while we try to keep track of it all amidst the hormone charged chaos.
