Harp Seal

Harp Seals are cute animals that live in the coldest polar regions.

They are yellowish-white and furry when they are young, but as soon as they are older, they somehow lose their fur and become silvery-grey.

They have four flippers and a tail.

They swim by putting their back flippers and tail together and moving them up and down.

They are 140 to 190kg in weight, and grow up to 1.7 to 2.0cm.

Sadly, Harp Seals are hunted for food, it happens in late march in the Gulf of St.Lawrence.

This is a video about Harp Seals.
