*** About Harbor Seals: Harbor seals are found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. They are highly adaptive marine mammals, diving into the depths to forage for fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Female harbor seals give birth to a single pup after approximately nine months of gestation, often returning to familiar haul-out sites to rear their young. These sites can be beaches, rocky shores, or even glacial ice, depending on their geographical location. The mother-pup bond is strong and crucial as the pup learns vital survival skills during its early life stages.
