DEEP DIVING -- feeding dives of elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris)

DIVING PROBLEMS
Problem 1 -- Oxygen supply
Physiological adaptations: Increased blood volume & hematocrit more hemoglobin and myoglobin selective shunting of blood, lower heart rate lower metabolic expenditure higher tolerance of CO2 & lactic acid
![Page 25: Temperature regulation and metabolism](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020714/56814053550346895dabc638/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Phoca vitulina (common harbor seal)
DEEP DIVING Diving Bradycardia - lower heart rate, blood diverted to essential organs
From: Elsner (1988)

DIVING PROBLEMS
Problem 4 -- Navigation
Foraging at depths where there is little or no ambient light
Toothed whales sophisticated underwater sonar
Seals -- Don’t have echolocation
Acute “passive” hearingHigh visual acuitySensitive tactile vibrissae
