Elephant seals are big. Very big. They have elephant-like trunks and are very blubbery. They are very dangerous, and fight to the death by biting one another. Elephant seals are similar to walruses, in the seal family. Elephant seals, although their name says, aren't really related to elephants! They are just seals with elephant trunks. Female elephant seals don't have the trunks. Only males have the elephant-like trunks.
