Elephant Seal Pups, Pescadero,CA
加利福尼亚佩斯卡德罗象海豹幼崽
Off the southern coast of San Mateo County, Año Nuevo State Parksupports the world's largest mainland breeding colony for northern elephantseals. From December to March, up to 10,000 seals turn up, making the beach sodensely populated that it resembles a blanket of lumpy, brown fur. Moms givebirth to precious pups while bulbous-nosed bulls fight for their right to mate.Reality TV pales in comparison to this drama. Naturalist-led walks are offereddaily from December 15 through March 31 (except holidays). Best to makereservations; it's the only way to see the seals during this period. The parkis closed December 1–15 as pregnant females and bulls arrive and form harems.
圣马特奥南海岸，新年州立公园（西语渣¡Feliz año nuevo chino!是新年快乐，所以猜 Año Nuevo是新年，凑合看吧！）有着世界上最大的北象海豹繁殖地。每年12月到3月，有多达1万头海豹出没，如此高的密集度使得海滩看上去像是铺了层棕色毛皮毯子。当准妈妈们生孩子的时雄性们忙着为了泡妹子打架。电视剧比对现实都显得苍白暗淡。“自然学家小路”将在12月15日到3月31日期间对外开放（节假日除外。）需要提前预定，这是观察该时期海豹的唯一途径。十二月的1号到15号，怀孕的雌海豹和雄海豹才会陆续到达。
