Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Northern elephant seals also migrate as much as 5000 kms from California to Oregon or even the Aleutian Islands in western Alaska. They come primarily to breed and then feed.

A description of the experience
Seasons of Life – Russell G Foster and Leon Kreitzman
Northern elephant seals, like many other migrants along the Pacific coast can be very badly affected by changes in the climate. During the 1997-98 El Nino, the mortality of northern elephant seal pups in California was around 80%. Severe storms, elevated sea levels, heavy rains and very high tides combined to submerge colonies and wash away pups. Such events are predicted to increase with climate change
