Southern elephant seal These are the largest seals and are called southern elephant seals for their large size and elongated proboscis measuring about 30 cm. They use their trunks to fight or threaten other matings during the breeding season and to conquer the female. I live in the frozen waters of Antarctica, where the food I love is. Unlike females, which are much smaller, males measure up to 6 m and weigh up to 4,000 kg. At one point, elephant seals were slated to be listed as endangered marine animals as a result of overhunting for their body fat.
