Journey of the Elephant Seals

Book excerpt: Elephant seals have such a fascinating migration story. Unlike migrations of many other animals, male and female elephant seals actually take different migratory routes. They arrive in different parts of the world, eat different food sources, swim different lengths, and spend time in two different temperatures of water, among other things. This fun and informative volume tells the tale of the epic elephant seal journey with accessible, exciting language accompanied by fantastic full-color photographs. A map of both journeys provides opportunity for visual comprehension of the lengths these animals go to every year.
