Elephant seal

Elephant seals or sea elephants are very large, oceangoing true seals in the genus Mirounga. Both species, the northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal, were hunted to the brink of extinction for lamp oil by the end of the 19th century, but their numbers have since recovered. They are the largest seal species. Males can weigh up to 4,000 kilograms (8,800 lb). Elephant seals get their name from the large proboscis of the adult male, reminiscent of an elephant's trunk.
