Episode 82: Mammoths of the Sea, the Elephant Seal

Episode 82: Mammoths of the Sea, the Elephant Seal

Elephant Seals are the largest seal, or pinniped, on Earth. Once almost hunted to extinction, Elephant Seals populations have grown over the last century, but are still at risk due to the increased pollution and exploitation of the world’s oceans. They are called “Elephants” not due to their size, but rather due to their large noses which often resemble a trunk of a true elephant.      Show notes HERE   Learn more about your ad choices.
