Oooo bubbles! 

Southern elephant seals are brilliant swimmers, travelling vast distances and diving deep for prey. They are clumsy on land and prefer gently-sloping sand or pebble beaches during the breeding season, such as on the east coast of Gough Island. Males can be 6 metres long and weigh nearly 4,000kg.
