northern elephant seal

Mirounga angustirostris

Description:

Enormous.

Habitat:

Most of their life is spent at sea, coming to somewhat isolated beaches to breed.

Notes:

Mainland breeding sites expanding. I think Ano Nuevo was the only one for a while. Now there is a group at Point Reyes north of San Francisco.
