Harbor Seals

Harbor seals are marine mammals with coats with spots of various shades, from silver gray to black, dark brown. They are five to six feet long and weigh up to 300 pounds. Harbor seal is dimorphic, male is slightly larger than female. They are genuine or crawl stickers, meaning they do not have external ear protection. Genuine seals also have small flippers, overturn their belly and move on land. They breathe in the water and stop breathing during diving.

Spotted seals (Phoca vitulina) have different names: ordinary seals. As you might have guessed from this nickname, the seal is actually very common, with the world population between 5 million and 6 million. Unfortunately, not all seals breed and become safe all over the world. Several species and subspecies are hardly hung on it. There are four seeds and subspecies of the most endangered seals, each facing an uncertain future. Seima's circular seal will actually get better than when I last wrote these seals. In 2010, the population was only 260 people. At that time, in the warm winter, the seal left without their usual protective ice cave. When exposed to these factors the infant's mortality rate rises and protects adults from fishermen who often kill animals rather than sharing catches (state rewards used to kill the seal even)

Five types of seals take at least time in the Arctic Ocean. Bearded seals, ring seals, harp seals, cap seals and seal seals. A seal that grew a beard and became a circle spends its entire life in the Arctic Circle. Hooded and harp seals spend the summer at the North Pole, and seals occasionally adventure north to the North Pole. Beard seals (Erignathus barbatus) is the largest arctic seal, and most closely resembles a walrus. They are bottom feeders with outstanding beards. Phoca hispida is the smallest Arctic seal, the most common. They eat shrimp, krill, and other small crustaceans. Harp Seal (Phoca groenlandica) is a deeper diving seal that feeds on small fish. Young harp seals are cherished for their coat, which leads to hatred between sealers and environmentalists. Hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) have similar lifespan to harp seals, but can be distinguished by long noses that can be inflated to form "hoods".

Seal meat is one of the most important aspects of Inuit diet, usually the largest part of Inuit Hunter diet. According to the season, Inuit people are looking for various kinds of seals. Harp seal, spotted seals, beard seals. Ring seals are hunted throughout the year, but harp seals are open only during summer. As suction seals need to pierce ice to reach the air, they use the nails to form the breathing holes. Through these, Inuit hunters can capture seals. When a hunter arrives at these holes, a sealed indicator will be installed to warn the hunter that breathing air is present in the seal. When a seal appeared, the hunter noticed the movement of the indicator and captured the seal in the water using his po. Seals as seawater animals are considered to be thirsty at all times, so they will begin to drink fresh water when they die. This proved to be a symbol of respect and appreciation for the seal and its sacrifice.
