Big Daddy bull elephant seal, about 5000 pounds of blubber galumphing along the sand. Elephant seals hunt squid at depths of 500-1500 feet in the ocean. It's nearly pitch black, so they use their highly sensitive whiskers to detect turbulence from their swimming prey. Squid need to learn how to hold their breath and keep still.
