Yes they are.
Harbor seals are difficult for predators to catch due to their agile swimming abilities and streamlined bodies, which allow them to quickly navigate through water. They also have a keen sense of awareness and can detect predators from a distance, often escaping before they are threatened. Additionally, harbor seals frequently use underwater structures and rocky environments for cover, further complicating a predator's pursuit. Their ability to hold their breath for extended periods also gives them an advantage in evading attacks.
Polar bears are natural predators of the harbor seal, and thus they do eat harbor seals as part of their diet. However, the harbor seal only makes up a small portion of the polar bear's diet. The polar bear's diet is made up primarily of ringed seal.
