Nicole Teutschel is with the TOPP's team at Ano Nuevo Island just a few short miles down the coast from the Bay Area in Northern California.The site of an abundant Elephant Seal colony, she and her team have been tagging these simply huge pinnipeds with long range sat tags in the hopes of learning more about these amazing critters.
Oh, and Ano Nuevo is also home to more Great White sharks per square inch than almost any other site on the planet as well.
If you have some time to rip through some cool tracking data today have a look at the latest in Hard Science.
We're pretty sure these 2000lb seals just don't roll over to get sat tags placed on them:
