Leopard seal, not elephant seal
[edit]Talk page required. This is not an Elephant Seal. It looks much more like a Leopard Seal.
Compare images of Elephant Seal: https://www.google.com/search?q=Mirounga+leonina
To Leopard Seal: https://www.google.com/search?q=Hydrurga+leptonyx
This mis labelling is further affecting at least 2 cascaded uses of a compisite image which include this picture as an element.

- Unlikely, it does look like a juvenile Southern elephant seal. Check the vibrassae. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:05, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
