Seal pup and people enjoy weekend weather

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) It was a picture perfect weekend on the Central Coast for people and elephant seals alike.
A crowd gathered to check out elephants seals basking in the sun a few miles north of San Simeon in San Luis Obispo County on Sunday.
They saw seals that are part of the Piedras Blancas Colony.
They spend most of their lives in the water but go on the sand for a few weeks at a time, twice a year.
They’re used to cold water, so they flip wet sand on their backs to stay cool.
One particularly smart seal positioned himself below dripping water from a drainage pipe.
The number of seals on the beach range from hundreds in July to thousands between January and May.
