"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
Is this near San Simeon? Were you there when a docent was there? They have scraps of the shed skin and fur the elephant seals shed every spring that you can actually handle.
The piece the docent had when we were there must have been washed. I didn't notice any smell, and no one else mentioned any. The hairs were all about an inch and a quarter long, and pierced the skin so they were held at about the midpoint of the hairs. The hairs were tightly held together, so I suppose to get any insulation there had to be a lot of oil in the hair and skin, which would account for the bad smell. Something our docent didn't mention.
Did they bring their trunks?
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'll show myself out
