sea elephant
A sea elephant, also known as an elephant seal, is a large marine mammal in the family Phocidae. They are characterized by their size, with males being significantly larger and possessing a prominent proboscis which resemble an elephant's trunk, earning the species its name. These seals are split into two species: the northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal, with the latter being the largest member of the seal family.
Webster Dictionary
Sea elephant
a very large seal (Macrorhinus proboscideus) of the Antarctic seas, much hunted for its oil. It sometimes attains a length of thirty feet, and is remarkable for the prolongation of the nose of the adult male into an erectile elastic proboscis, about a foot in length. Another species of smaller size (M. angustirostris) occurs on the coast of Lower California, but is now nearly extinct
