A Seal Resting in a Coastal Cove

Coastal coves offer natural shelter where seals can climb out of the water onto sandy beaches surrounded by rocks and ocean waves. Seashells frequently wash ashore along these stony shorelines.

Fascinating Facts About Seals

Seals rely on a thick layer of blubber beneath their skin to stay warm in freezing ocean waters. Instead of external ears, true seals have small ear openings that close tightly when they dive beneath the surface. They can also slow their heart rate to conserve oxygen during long underwater trips.

Natural Colors of Coastal Wildlife

  • Seal fur: dark gray, brown, or mottled silver with darker spots
  • Seal eyes: deep brown or black
  • Seashell: light beige, pale pink, or creamy white
  • Coastal rocks: dark gray, charcoal, or brownish slate

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Seals

How long can seals stay underwater while diving?
Most seals can dive underwater for fifteen to thirty minutes before needing to surface for air. Some species can remain submerged even longer when searching for fish in deep waters.
Why do seals come out of the ocean onto sandy shores?
Seals come ashore to rest, warm up under the sun, shed their old fur during molting, and raise their pups away from strong sea currents.
Do seals drink salt water from the sea?
Seals rarely drink sea water because they get most of the hydration they need directly from the fish and squid they eat.
