I PUT THIS AS 20 POINTS SO PLEASE HELP! :(

Male elephant seals are five to six times heavier than females of the species. The males use their large body size to fight for control of groups of the smaller-sized females. Fights between two male elephant seals usually last only a few minutes, with one of the males backing off and the other establishing itself as the leader of a group of up to 100 females. What resource are male elephant seals competing for during these conflicts? food shelter mates water
