Description
ELEPHANT SEAL OF ANO NUEVO STATE RESERVE by PRISCILLA BURGERS
This elephant seal is one of 10,000 northern elephant seals that return to Ano Nuevo State Reserve in Pescadero, california every year to breed, give birth, and molt their skin among the scenic dunes and beaches. The beautiful beaches here host the largest breeding grounds for massive northern elephant seals. you can see 5,000-pound males compete for harems of females and 300-pound seal pups being fed by their mothers. The males sing and honk to mark their territory, while pups yelp just for the fun of it. During the winter breeding season access to the Preserve is available only via guided walks. This is the time when male elephant seals battle on the beaches for the right to mate and the females give birth to their pups on the dunes. Most of the adult seals are gone by early March, leaving behind the weaned pups who remain through April.
