The Great Elephant Seal Sing-Off - A Noisy Coast Listen for Children

Step onto the wild, windy shores of California, where the waves crash, seabirds call, and something huge is resting in the sand. But listen - HONK! That’s not the ocean… it’s an elephant seal, one of the biggest and loudest seals in the world!

In this immersive episode of Little Listens, young explorers will waddle onto a beach full of elephant seals, where blubbery honks and deep rumbles fill the air. The biggest males bellow in a contest, each one trying to be the loudest - because in the world of elephant seals, the biggest voice wins the best spot on the beach!

Join the burping, booming, belly-flopping beach concert, meet a clever raven watching from the cliffs, and hear a young seal practicing its first squeaky honks. As the sun sets, the beach quiets, the seals settle, and the ocean sings them to sleep.

Close your eyes, take one last deep breath of the cool, salty air… and listen to The Great Elephant Seal Sing-Off.

Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or curious explorers on the go.
