Elephant Seals: Mountains of Blubber: Educational Version
Playbook
Synopsis "Elephant Seals: Mountains of Blubber: Educational Version"
Elephant seals are huge animals that live part of their life on land. When I say they are huge, I mean huge. The male elephant seal can grow to be up to 16 feet (4.9 metres) long. They can weigh 6,600 pounds (3000 kilograms)!
An average car weighs about 3,000 pounds (1360 kilograms). That means a male elephant seal can weigh more than two cars! That is big!
Female elephant seals are only about half the size of the males. That is still a very big seal, though. Female elephant seals can be up to about 10 feet (three metres) long and weigh about 2,000 pounds (910 kilograms)
Find out more about this amazing animal and learn the answers to these questions:
How long does an elephant seal stay in the water?

In what way do male elephant seals dive differently from female elephant seals?
Why do elephant seals like to hang out in very deep water?
