Research on elephant seals behaviour and ecology


A researcher with two juvenile elephant seals

The Elephant Seal Research Group is a small independent association of Italian researchers dedicated to the study of elephant seals. We are currently running two long term research projects. The first one, started in 1995, is a study of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) of Sea Lion Island, the only breeding colony of this species in the Falkland Islands. The second, started in 2001, is a study of northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) of the San Benitos Islands (Baja California, Mexico).
