Abstract
Northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris, were nearly extirpated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, they have recovered to the point where they are now locally abundant (Stewart e t al. 1994). Stimulated by the report of human/northern elephant seal interactions in Baja California Sur (Webster and Baird 1998), we report here on an unusual terrestrial example of the increasing conflict between the growing populations of these two species in central California.
