The hooded seal has a couple of very odd features. Males of this species have both an inflatable skull hood and a nasal balloon. These sacs inflate up to a foot or more in diameter whenever the seal is aroused, angered or just showing off. The nasal balloon is inflated through its nostrils and is a bright red color.
