The Mojo Elephant Seal figure, captures the distinctive physical characteristics of the elephant seal, including its massive size, robust build, and unique facial features. The figure showcases the wrinkled, leathery texture of the seal's skin, colored in a realistic greyish-brown hue that mirrors the natural appearance of elephant seals. The prominent, bulbous nose of the male, a defining feature of the species, is accurately depicted, highlighting the elephant-like trunk from which the species derives its name.
The realistic portrayal of the seal’s body proportions, including its large, elongated form and powerful flippers, emphasizes its adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle. The figure's basking pose, reflects the typical behavior of elephant seals when they are on land.
The Mojo Elephant Seal figure measures approx: 6.5 L x 3.5 H x 4.8 W inches.
Elephant seals are the largest members of the pinniped family, which also includes seals, sea lions, and walruses. There are two species of elephant seals: the northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal. The northern species is found along the Pacific coast of North America, while the southern species is distributed around the sub-Antarctic islands and the coastlines of South America, South Africa, and New Zealand.
The name "elephant seal" derives from the significant size of these animals and the distinctive trunk-like nose of the adult males, known as bulls. Male elephant seals can grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh as much as 8,800 pounds, making them one of the largest marine mammals. Females are considerably smaller, typically reaching about 10 feet in length and weighing up to 2,000 pounds. The males use their elongated noses to produce loud roars, especially during the breeding season, to establish dominance and attract females.
