 Reading Comprehension:
Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions.

In the freezing ocean waters of Antarctica, the planet's largest seals make their
home in a frozen world. These giants are southern elephant seals, and they can
grow as long as the length of a car and weigh as much as two cars combined. The
name “elephant seal” comes from both the males' enormous size and from their
giant trunk-like nose, called a proboscis. Females do not have a proboscis and they
are much smaller.
A thick layer of blubber keeps southern elephant seals warm in their icy habitat.
The seals are clumsy on land, but in water, they are graceful swimmers and
incredible divers. They can easily dive 1,000 to 4,000 feet to hunt for squid, octopus,
and various kinds of fish. Elephant seals are able to stay underwater for 20 minutes
or more. The longest underwater session researchers observed is an amazing two
hours!
