Elephant seals

• There are two subspecies of elephant seal: the northern elephant seal, native to the Pacific coast of the US, Canada, and Mexico, and the southern elephant seal, which is native to the coasts of New Zealand, Argentina, and South Africa. The elephant seal has a huge snout-like proboscis, which assists in breathing and also helps males to attract and fight for females during breeding season.
  
  

Leopard seals

Hawaiian monk seals

• Hawaiian monk seals are native to Hawaii, but are very rare. These seals are endangered largely due to human actions including extensive hunting. Hawaiian monk seals are also predated by tiger sharks. These two major threats have caused this seal species to reach a recent population size of only 1,200.
