What is the life cycle of a harp seal?

Answer 1

They begin as a baby harp seal, with white fur, to protect them from predators. After about 3 weeks, they begin to lose their fur and obtain a sleek gray leather coat. Beyond this point, they spend most of their life in the water feeding on small fish like shrimp salmon, octopus, flounder, cod, plankton, and squid. A full grown harp seal can weigh as much as 400 lbs and be between 5 and 6 feet long.

Answer 2

The Sea Lions life-cycle starts when it is a pup. Summer is mating season. One year after mating season the mother cow can have one baby every year in 25 years. The Sea Lion can live up to 30 years. The babies are born on the beach. Since Sea Lions are mammals, the pups are born live. When the pup is born it looks like its mother only smaller. The mother cow raises the pups because the father bull is too big and he can get grumpy. The mother is called a cow, the father is called a bull, and the baby is called a pup.
