144, Harbor Seal

Hello welcome to wild Suzhou today I will be talking about theharbor seal The harbor seal can be found on harbors near the Atlantic andpacific oceans, ranging from Alaska to the border of California and Mexico. They tend to livein areas like shores, beaches and rocky islands that are near coastal waters. Their diet consists of octopus, squid, cod, flounder and othersmallish sea animals. They are hunters so they dive for their food, these sealsare very good at diving and can dive from 3-7 minutes long and up to1,500 feet into the water. Harbor seals aren’t easily aggressive but if agitated they willlikely rush into the water and are on the lookout for predators. Theirpredators can include killer whales, sharks, polar bears, and walrus’s. Harbor seals have light grey to black spots around their body andare five to six feet in length. They can weight up to 300 pounds and get aroundby flopping on their stomach. They have a steady population of 500,000 and livein small groups. What do you think of this funny coastal creature. For wild Suzhou I’m palm tree and thank you for listening.
