What happens to harp seals when the ice melts?

The baby seals that have yet to learn to swim hence they need a place to lay while they develope and the adults need a place to breed out of the water. They also sleep above water as well as in water. Due to the ice melting, there has been a huge decline in numbers as the babies drown and less breeding is taking place. Harp seals are now being spotted in parts they have not been found in prior years for breeding.

Yes. Harp Seals eat a wide variety of fish and other sea creatures, and their diet seems to vary during different stages of life. Since reporting of the stomach contents of killed seals began in 1941, at least 67 species of fish and 70 species of invertebrates have been found to be part of the Harp Seal's diet.arp Seals eat a wide variety of fish and other sea creatures, and their diet seems to vary during different stages of life.

What are some behavioral adaptations of a monk seal?

They blow bubbles to trap fish, girl harp seals use there paws and boy harp seals use there mouthDON'T LISTEN TO THE ANSWER ABOVE BECAUSE IT'S FALSE! I AM A SCIENTIST AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HARP SEALS FOR 2 YEARS STREIGHT. HERE IS MY ANSWER.Harp seal behavioral adaptions is the way the seal 'behaves' in it's habitat. For example....Mating Season. The male harp seals come across from there territory of the seas to the ice bergs. the females lie on the ice bergs waiting for a male to fight over them. Once two or three males have chosen that female, they begin to fight over her. There behavour is agressive, they use there strong flippers to hit other one another, and use there sharp teeth to bite the other male. In the end, one of the males is injured, which leaves the stronger male able to mate with the female. So the male that lost the battle has to either wait for the next mating season or find another female. Every female witnesses the fights so if the loosing male goes up to them, it's most likely they would reject the male.So there you go :)
