*** About Harbor Seals: Harbor seals, known scientifically as Phoca vitulina, are a widespread species, found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. These seals are most often spotted lounging on rocks or beaches close to the water, although they can dive and swim with graceful agility. Typically ranging from 5 to 6 feet in length and weighing up to 300 pounds, their diet primarily consists of fish, squid, and crustaceans. Harbor seals are crucial indicators of marine health, as their populations reflect local environmental conditions. They are also known for their varied coat patterns, which can be crucial for camouflage from predators like sharks and killer whales.
