"Aņo Nuevo State Reserve is the site of the largest mainland breeding colony in the world for the northern elephant seal, and the interpretive program has attracted increasing interest every winter for the past 19 years. The males battle for mates on the beaches and the females give birth to their pups on the dunes." - Aņo Nuevo website
