Año Nuevo seals in Canada!

Elephant seals are being seen more often on the
beaches in Canada. Click here for more info.

This past molting season, biologist Paul Cottrell
(Fisheries and Oceans Canada) found ~40 individuals.
At least two of them (both juveniles) were carrying
green flipper tags from 
Año Nuevo!  Observations like
these help scientists learn about movement and
demographic patterns.


UPDATE:  Check out the amazing website set up by the
researchers at Race Rocks... including webcams!
