Elephant seals are huge animals that live in the sea. When I say they are huge, I mean huge. The male elephant seal can grow to be as long as a car! They can weigh as much as two cars! That is big!
This book is a shortened version of our popular “Elephant Seals: Mountains of Blubber” and is intended for beginning readers.
