Male Protecting his Harem

View Wildlife Figures by Shawn Tsai

Elephant seals return to the beaches at Piedras Blancas in December to give birth and nurse the young. The adult males arrive later to begin the battles for dominance of the beach for mating rights.

The Gray whales also begin their migration from the arctic to the warm waters off Mexico. If you want to see them up close, you can rent a kayak at San Simeon State Beach or call Virgs Landing in Morro Bay for a boat schedule. 805-772-1222 or visit their web site; Virg's Landing
