How do harp seals survive?
Harp Seals have reasonably thick blubber, at about 2-4 inches thick, and at birth (this is when they are white and fluffy until they moult) they can blend in with their surroundings in Antarctica. They also make burrows in the snow to hide from anything which may be dangerous to them. (these are mostly humans and polar bears) Harp Seals can swim and have been known to hold their breath for up to 10 minutes. They mostly eat penguins, fish, the majority of crustaceans. NOTE! Harp seals live in the Arctic Region while Penguins live in the Antarctic region. They are in complete opposite poles so there is NO POSSIBILITY that HARP SEALS can even encounter common penguins in the South Pole. Leopard seals predate penguins, NOT HARP SEALS. There is NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER for a HARP SEAL TO PREY ON PENGUINS BECAUSE THEY DWELL ON OPPOSITE POLES OF THE EARTH. Learn to make the distinction between LEOPARD SEALS AND HARP SEALS.
