Male northern elephant seals compete with one another for territories along the beach. Males will defend these territories throughout the breeding season

The males that win the male–male competitions defend the "best" beaches, and will have access to mate with females that stay on the beach. Female northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) come up on a beach during breeding season.
