Elephant seals have external whiskers called vibrissae to help them locate prey and navigate their environment. Dominant males arrive at potential breeding sites in November, and will spend 3 months on the beach fasting to ensure that they can mate with as many females as possible. When battles come into play, seals will stand tall, and ram themselves into one another using their chest plates and sharp teeth.
The beta bull helps the alpha by preventing other males accessing the females. The new pups will spend up to ten additional weeks on land learning how to swim and dive. Males reach maturity at five to six years, but generally do not achieve alpha status until the age of eight, with the prime breeding years being between ages 9 and 12.
