Marine Mammals Resting Near Coastal Waters
Seals spend much of their lives swimming in ocean waters, but they frequently come ashore on rocky beaches, sandy coasts, or floating ice sheets to rest and nurse their young. Adult female seals share a close bond with their pups during the initial weeks of life, staying nearby to offer milk and protection. Their streamlined bodies, covered in dense fur and backed by a layer of blubber, help them remain warm even when resting in freezing northern environments.
Natural Adaptations of Seals
While seals look heavy on land, their paddle-like flippers allow them to glide gracefully underwater to hunt for fish and squid. Mother seals identify their own pups among hundreds of other animals on crowded shores using a unique combination of scent and vocal calls. Most seal pups develop rapidly, growing a thick coat that keeps them insulated before they learn to swim independently in cold ocean currents.
