Too late to meet Princess Anne, the celebrity elephant seal will now finish his moult in the quiet of Nootka Sound
Emerson, the local celebrity elephant seal with a penchant for lying around in very public places in Greater Victoria as he moults his skin and fur, has gone north again.
Cottrell noted that the two-year-old elephant seal may weigh 500 pounds but he’s still difficult to see against a roadway, and could be hit by vehicles. He’s had to be relocated from a dog park in Whiffen Spit and a campground at Jordan River, but always makes his way to public places, said Cottrell. Cottrell said Emerson has become habituated to people, but not because anyone is feeding him. He just seems to like being around humans, which is unusual, he said.
