Title: Spying on Giant Elephant Seals at Aņo Nuevo State Reserve near Santa Cruz, California
Copy: From 10 yards away, a 16-foot male elephant seal looks like a giant, blubbery great white shark that's been beached and fitted with a rubber sausage for a nose. Get super close to these guttural-sounding behemoths, their lazy harems, and their high-pitched, barking weener babies (who sound like monkeys from a few sand dunes away) on a gorgeous, windswept dunescape north of Santa Cruz, CA. Devoted docents give 2-hour guided hikes during breeding season, which spans from December to March every year.
