Fig. I. A moulting bull Elephant seal, 

 in patches. 



Notice the old hair coming off 



Fig. 2. A moulting bull Elephant seal. The proboscis is not yet fully 

 developed, as this is a young full-grown bull, three or four years old. 

 Notice the bare skin left where the sheets of old hair have peeled off, 

 and the stream of tears flowing from the eye. 



Fig. 3. A cow Elephant seal breathing through one nostril only.
