Pupping in the Northern elephant seal was filmed at Ano Nuevo, California. Females come to the land for pupping. The number of females at the breeding site peaks in late January and early February. Females weigh about 500kg, whereas some males weigh over 2 tons.

The State Park has open-access, live, video pictures, which were taken at the breeding sites. You can see them in ¡ÆVideo Gallery¡Ç at http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=523
