Symbolic Adoptions Elephant Seal Elephant Seal

When you choose a symbolic animal adoption, you generously support WWF’s global conservation efforts. Every donation helps save endangered wildlife, protect fragile ecosystems, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Adopt an Elephant Seal

Elephant seals come ashore twice a year for breeding and molting, and while on land,… they take no food or water. Fasting is part of their life cycle. Males fast for up to three months on the beach during the breeding season while guarding a harem of females. Females, tending their pups, fast onshore for about a month while they are nursing. During the breeding season, they experience dramatic weight loss, sometimes nearly half their mass. Pups can be weaned in about 25 days. Show More
