Ecology
Diet
Pinnipeds are carnivorous, eating fish, shellfish, squid, penguin, and other marine creatures. Most are generalist feeders, but some specialize. For example, Ross Seals and Southern Elephant Seals mainly feed on squid. Crabeater Seals eat mostly krill, and Ringed Seals almost exclusively consume crustaceans. The walrus consumes its molluscan prey by sucking the soft parts from the shell.
