"Pups measure 90-105 cm and weigh 6-10 kg at birth. As they are nursed by their mothers they grow about 2kg per day. Harp seals can live up to thirty-five years. In the water, harp seals propel themselves by moving their hind flippers left and right. On land they move by hopping on their belly, without the support of their limbs. Male harp seals develop their harp-like marking at the age of seven but the females do not until age 12. Harp seals can dive to depths of over 275m and stay underwater for 15 minutes. Fossils show us that seals existed during the Miocene era, about 20 million years ago. Courting rituals of harp seals involve calling, blowing underwater bubbles, gesturing with flippers, and chases across the ice."
