Marine Seal Resting on Floating Ice

This marine mammal rests peacefully on a low piece of ice surrounded by polar waters. Its rounded body and short flippers are well adapted for life along frigid coastlines and open sea environments.

Unique Traits of Seals

Seals spend a significant amount of time resting on floating ice floes to conserve energy between dives. Their streamlined body shape allows them to glide gracefully through icy waters while searching for fish. Special whiskers on their snout can detect tiny movements in the water, helping them navigate even in dark ocean depths.

Real Colors of a Seal

  • Body coat: mottled gray or silvery tan

Questions and answers

Seal Questions and Answers

How long can seals stay underwater while diving?
Most seal species can hold their breath underwater for twenty to thirty minutes. Some deep-diving species can remain submerged for over an hour while hunting.
Why do seals come out of the water onto ice floes?
Seals haul out onto ice or rocky shores to sleep, digest their food, and warm up in the sun. It also gives them a safe place away from marine predators.
Do seals have ears on the outside of their heads?
True seals have no external ear flaps, possessing only small ear openings on the sides of their head. This smooth surface helps reduce water resistance while swimming.
