This page NEW in September 2004 We organized a group tour to Ano Nuevo State Park, site of the largest mainland breeding colony of elephant seals. January is a great time to visit; you get to see the bulls fighting for the females, mating bulls and females, and also females giving birth to the pups! L to R: Boyd, Shapoor's friend, Nick, Sue, Shapoor, Carlton, Regina, Andrew, Dave, Boihon, Linda, Linh, Brian, Joseph, Robert, Janis, Sarah, Melanie
Exactly how large is an elephant seal? Melanie, Sarah, & Joseph show us! The average elephant seal is 14-16 feet LONG and weigh up to 2 1/2 tons!!
