Description
Common Name: Elephant Seal
Common Name Synonyms: Sea Elephant, Southern Elephant Seal, Northern Elephant Seal
Scientific Name: Mirounga leonina
Size: 1.2-1.8m tall from flipper-bottom to shoulders, 3-6 meters from snout to tail-base. Females are 50% smaller than males
Classification: Caniform
Habitat: Arctic, Oceans, Beaches
Diet: Carnivorous; diet consisted of mollusks, squids, crustaceans, shrimps, krill, cod ice-fish, lantern-fish, fish, cephalopods, algae
Description: The largest of all carnivorans, whom happened to be the largest pinnepid ever lived, and had the most sexually dimorphism, as their names come from their big noses for males. The elephant seal, was the only carnivoran that can exceed in sizes to small cetaceans, like dolphins(except for killer whales, whose not only the elephant seals' predator, but the largest members of the dolphin family. We know that there's 2 species of elephant seals, like the larger Southern(M.leonina) and the walrus-sized Northern(M.angustirosis) elephant seals. The northern elephant seal, and the walrus was rivaled by the southern elephant seal, for being the largest pinnepids. Most elephant seals lived in the beaches, in huge herds, where they lead by a beach master, whose a male. Males can fight each other for mates, and dominance, to control the harem herd. We do know the differences, that males had a proboscis nose, and they are muscular and had more blubber than females, while females don't have a proboscis, but they still had blubber as males do. Northern elephant seals are native to the beaches near Pacific Ocean, while southern elephant seals are native to Atlantic Ocean, but southern elephant seals lived ashore in Antarctica, southern beaches in South America, and southern Africa, southern Australia, and Tasmania. The predators of the elephant seals, are great white sharks, southern sleeper sharks, killer whales(aka orcas), when they are all ages. Pups of the elephant seals are fallen prey by leopard seals, and even sea lions. All elephant seals are much more bigger than polar and grizzly bears, by weight.
