two male elephant seal are fighting for territory

Elephant seals are the largest of all seals.


Males can grow to 4.5m long  and weigh up to 4 tonnes. Like fur seals, they show a strong sexual dimorphism (difference in size between the males and females), females grow to about 2.8m  and 900kg.
A fully grown male and female side by side are commonly mistaken for an adult and juvenile.
They are called elephant seals partly because of their size and also partly because of the males snout or trunk that he inflates to impress and intimidate rivals when competing with other males.
