The Elephant Seals of Año Nuevo

Witness the curious habits of the Northern Elephant Seals as they return every winter to breed on the same beaches at Ano Nuevo State Reserve. See spectacular fighting among adult males as they compete for the rank of the alpha bull. Hear the cries of newborn pups as they call for their mothers and learn about their survival. Discover the story behind Ano Nuevo State Reserve; its diversity of intertidal life and why this part of the California coast includes ideal habitats for birds, plants, and other marine mammals such as Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and migrating gray whales. Produced in cooperation with California State Parks and San Mateo Coast Natural History Association.
