- Meeting Dr. Sarah Allen, the esteemed Point Reyes National Seashore Marine Ecologist, opened up a whole new world for Sarah Codde. The first day of Sarah's internship, Dr. Sarah took her to the large elephant seal colony in the Point Reyes National Seashore. These humongous seals can be dangerous, the males can weigh as much as 8,800 pounds. But Sarah loved everything about it, she thought they were fun and had a lot of personality. Immediately seeing that she was a natural, Dr. Sarah mentored her, taught her how to behave in an elephant seal colony: to stay calm, quiet and cautious and to back off if her presence is too much. "Our nickname is Sarah Squared cuz we're both Sarah." - Sarah Codde Now Sarah mentors the younger generation, like Marjorie, her field assistant, training her how to behave in the colony. SARAH SQUARED concludes with thrilling proof of how dangerous and fun these animals can be.
