Crabeater seal

A crabeater seal rests on the ice	Named by French explorers, crabeater seals prefer to eat a shrimp-like animal called krill rather than crabs. Both males and females may reach up to 2.6 m and weigh up to 225 kg.
Crabeater seals live in and around the Antarctic. Many crabeater seals are scarred from leopard seals and to a lesser extent, killer whale attacks. Their unique teeth allow crabeater seals to strain krill out of seawater.
Scientists consider crabeater seals to be the most abundant of any pinniped (seals, sea lions and walruses) species. Some estimates put their population at 70 million.
