1) Elephant seals have nasal turbinates that help them stay hydrated
2) Elephant seals have blubber that helps them stay warm, weightless, and hydrated in water
3) Elephant seals have the ability to hold their breath for 30 - 40 minutes at a time.  At Ano Nuevo State Park we have seen some Elephant seals hold their breath up to 2 hours!
4) An elephant seal's body can experience extreme things on land. One of these is going through a catastrophic molt (shedding all fur and epidermis at one time!).
5) An elephant seal also goes through a fasting period of up to 90 days while on land during the mating season.

Adult elephant seals are known for being able to dive a mile deep, hold their breath for up to two hours, and stay at sea for up to eight months at a time. Learning how to do this is the first big challenge that seal pups face.

All mammals (including us!) lose and regrow their hair or fur. Most lose and grow a little bit each day, but elephant seals have adapted to molt (or shed) all their fur over a 25 day period once a year.
