Harbour Seals

Description:

Harbor seals are brown, tan, or gray, with distinctive V-shaped nostrils. Harbor seals prefer to frequent familiar resting sites. They may spend several days at sea and travel up to 50 kilometers in search of feeding grounds, and will also swim some distance upstream into freshwater in large rivers.

Habitat:

They prefer to remain relatively close to shore in subtidal and intertidal zones. They will often venture into bays and estuaries and even swim up coastal rivers.
