Animals We Had No Idea Were Actually Shockingly Massive

This Southern Elephant Seal Is A Chunky Boy

Minazo was a Southern Elephant Seal who lived at Japan's Enoshima Aquarium. He was large and in charge, chunky yet funky, and he was known for his blue bucket. He passed away in 2005, but he was loved by so many people.

Elephant seals are mostly fat to keep them warm in harsh climates. They lie on rocks and become aggressive during the mating season. In the wild, you can see them with many battle scars due to their battles with other males.
