Breaking the fast: first report of dives and ingestion events in molting southern elephant seals

L. M. Charline, L. Chaise, et al.

This groundbreaking research conducted by Laura M. Charline and colleagues reveals that southern elephant seals may not fast during their catastrophic molt as previously thought. Instead, many of these seals engage in diving and ingesting food, showing that favorable conditions can impact their energy conservation during this critical period. Discover how climate change might redefine our understanding of molting in this fascinating species!
