An example of a genetic bottleneck is the northern elephant seals, whose population was reduced to 50 individuals, resulting in much lower genetic diversity compared to the original population.
Um exemplo de gargalo genético são as focas-elefante do norte, cuja população foi reduzida a 50 indivíduos, resultando numa diversidade genética muito menor em comparação com a população original.
