hi, my name is lauren.
my favorite animal is an elephant seal!
i was so happy when i found this website because it's so hard to find good info on them. i just wanted to tell you how much i loved the pictures.

i am 12 years old. (i thought you would want to know that.) i have a plastic elephant seal that i take everywhere. i made him a house and everything. his name is sniffs. He's awesome.

so i wanted to thatnk you soo much for making thios website. and i apprieciate you r liking of elephant seals. it's nice to know that there's someone else out there who likes elephant seals. so thank you!

Dear Lauren,

Thanks so much for your letter!

I also love elephant seals (and my name is also Lauren!).

I don't know where you live, but I hope that someday, you get to visit one of the elephant seal rookeries in California. I particularly enjoy visiting Año Nuevo State Reserve in the Monterey Bay around Valentine's Day (when all the baby elephant seals are born).

Maybe someday I will see you there!
