Each year new pups are born in December and January. Adult females spend 10 months at sea and two on land. Most of the older males make the 5,000-mile trip to the Aleutian Islands twice a year. Females and juveniles also travel, but usually not as far. Here are some clips of the moms and babies taken just before New Year’s at the viewing area near San Simeon. Seals are usually there from December through February.
