The California elephant seal has very large eyes to track squid and hake during foraging trips. Their skulls have thick bone walls because they must withstand the immense pressure of diving for their prey. Male sea lions outsize the females by twice.
These marine mammals inhabit the North American Pacific coast from British Columbia down to Mexico.

| International Seal Day - March 22nd | Every year on March 22nd, the International Day of the Seal promotes the conservation of seals worldwide. It’s also a day to celebrate this amazing marine mammal. A seal is a type of animal called a pinniped, which is Latin for “fin-footed.” Other pinnipeds include the walrus and sea lion. What makes seals different than other pinnipeds is that they don’t really use their flippers to walk. When on land, they usually slide around on their bellies. In the water, their flippers help them swim really fast. Seals are also much quieter and smaller than their sea lion and walrus cousins. |
