| Elephant seals |
|
| Elephant seals once ranged from Magdalena Bay Baja California to the San Francisco Bay region. During the nineteenth century, they were hunted to near extinction, and the entire population of Northern elephant seals was reduced to a small herd of less than 100 individuals on Isla de Guadalupe. The protection of this species during the twentieth century resulted in a gradual recovery, and the population spread north to other islands and some mainland beaches.
