#8: Elephant Seal vs. Man
Even if you’ve never seen an elephant seal in real life, you most likely know what they look like. These floppy guys are usually seen lying on the beach or rolling around with each other. Also, most of us observe these giant animals from afar or through a screen. This photo emphasizes just how large these animals are when compared to people.

This giant elephant seal was photographed on Macquarie Island, which is near New Zealand. We’re not good at math, so we’d guess that this elephant seal is about a million times larger than the guy in this photo. While we don’t recommend getting this close to an elephant seal, this guy’s rash decision helps us put their true size into perspective.
