Adult males enjoy the beach in August. They don't have much to do except let their skin peel off and rest.
This impressive male has a well-developed chest shield, indicating he's mature. They can live to 14 years but 12 is the prime breeding year.
New skin needs not additional treatment. Just peel off the old layer and the new is ready to wear. This experienced old guy has scars to show his years. Initially, I thought he had something on his head, but it's just light-colored old skin.
Lying around in a pile makes a good day at Piedras Blancas.
