Eating SHARKS????!!!! Any documentation?65.223.141.108 19:58, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I didn't write this article, but I have been (within 10 feet) of the seals on several occaisions. I believe they only eat small sharks, but they are a HUGE animal. The other elephant seal article says the biggest one ever was 22 feet long and 7500 pounds. -Exsequor.

• It's not impossible. They dive extremely deep, and in deeper water smaller sharks are relatively common. Sides, plenty of things eat sharks. I once saw a picture of a Caspian Tern with a baby horned shark. Sabine's Sunbird 21:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] some major rewriting needed

Much of this article was clearly written by someone whose first language was not English. While the meaning is fairly clear, the text should be rewritten. I'll get around to it, but anyone is welcome to make the changes.Bob98133 (talk) 22:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes I took this info from the French article translated into English. Bobisbob (talk) 18:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
