Answer 7

Seals search for food with their coarse , continuously growing whiskers. The seal sweeps its upper lip to and fro, using these sensitive whiskers to detect fish in murky waters.



Seals have very good vision in water. The eye must focus in both air and water so is very large and round.

Seals have a keen sense of smell in air, which allows them to detect predators. Females also use smell to recognise their pups on crowded breeding beaches. While swimming the nostrils are kept tightly shut



Seals hear very well in both water and in air. Females and pups often call to each other. Seals also make growls and grunts underwater especially during the breeding season



Seals are opportunistic feeders – they feed on a number of different prey depending on which is available, diving to around 120 metres or even 300m deep. Their diet consists mainly of fish such as sand eels, herring, saithe and whiting as well as bottom-dwelling fish like plaice and flounder. Squid and octupus are also frequently eaten.


UK seals breed in colonies where animals congregate on beaches, sandflats and in caves. Male seals often fight for access to females.


Grey seals give birth to a single pup on beaches or in hidden sea caves from July to November. Common Seals pup on beaches and tidal sandflats within tidal reach, from May to July. In both species conception to birth takes around 11 months and implantation of the embryo is delayed by around 3 months.


Grey seal pups are born with silky white coat or lunugo, which is moulted at around 9-18 days old and are quite helpless. Common seal pups are dark and motted, having shed their lanugo before birth, and can swim within 5 minutes.


Grey seal pups are nursed for only around 17 days so they must grow very rapidly consuming 3.2kg of fat- rich milk per day! The female does not eat during this time. After weaning, the pup moults and must fast, living on its stored fat for up to 4 weeks before it learns to forage and catch its own fish. The common seal pup learns to forage much earlier as it accompanies its mother on short trips during the 3-5 weeks after she nurses it. They spend much more time playing in the water from a very early stage.


Seals mate at the end of lactation. Grey seal females can breed at around 4 years old whereas female common seals must be 3-7 years old to breed and males must be 3-8 years old. Both species can mate in water. Moulting: During the moult seals spend much of their time hauled out of land as they need to conserve energy. Grey seals moult from December-March ( females) and March-May ( males ) in the UK and the republic of Ireland and common seals, from mid July to mid September


The main threats to the UK and Irish seals are: Interactions with fisheries Disease e.g. the phocine distemper virus (PDV) Epidemic of 1988 which killed 18,000 seals Pollution – plastic debris and toxic chemicals. Seals could be a threat from repeated calls for a cull in Scotland


Most seals live in the artics and survive in the harsh and bitter cold weather because they have a layer of thick fat called blubber.


Seals and sea lions live most of their lives in the water but come out on land to bask in the sun


They come up during the breeding season. They like deep salt water because it provides plenty of fish to keep them alive and healthy.



Seals live in places where disturbance is minimal


They like islands and rocky shores where they can bask in the sun and be close to their source of food. Also, they like sandbars, where they can also bask in the sun.


They feed in cold open waters so that there is a wider variety of fish to choose from.

Seals are carnivores, they eat fish, shrimp, and other animals that they chase out of the water.

Seals are marine animals that live in the sea. There are seventeen different kinds of seals but most live in the artics.


The group ranges in size. The Ringed Seal measures 4 feet long and weighs about 140 pounds.

The Northern Seal Elephant may grow to be 20 feet and weigh up to 4 tons


Seals have a temperature that remains the same all the time. They have hair or fur



Mother seals bear live young which they nurse with milk and care until the young can take care of themselves.



there are a few ways to tell them apart. First, true seals do not have ears on the outside. They simply have small holes that lead to their ear. These holes close when the seals go under water. Sea lions, however, have small ear flaps instead.


sea lions have nails on their flippers and seals don't. Some sea lions have spots and most seals have plain skin in different colors.


Both seals and sea lions have whiskers like cats. Another difference is that sea lions have shorter snouts than seals.


Both seals and sea lions have a thick layer of fat on their bodies. This layer is called blubber.


Seals do not dive deep or stay under water long. The maximum is only a couple minutes. However some seals while hunting, can stay under water for as long as thirty minutes and dive as deep as 1,000 feet (305 meters.)



However some seals while hunting, can stay under water for as long as thirty minutes and dive as deep as 1,000 feet (305 meters.) They are able to do this without running out of oxygen because scientists believe they have more blood in their body than land animals do which gives them enough oxygen to do this.


They swim, breed, and pupp in large groups for protection. Seal's legs were adapted into flippers so they could swim and catch food easier.
