Is an elephant seal a true seal?

Answer:

Yes. Elephant seals, genus mirounga, are one of the most commonly known species of seals due to their unusual face shape. Their name is given to them based off their long trunk-like nose, similar to that of an elephant. One species of elephant seal lives along the coast of the U.S., Canada, Mexico, while another species lives along the coast of South Africa, New Zealand and Argentina.
