What is the harp seals home?
the harp seal lives in the Arctic and northern Atlantic Ocean;the Greenland and Norwegian Coast.
How do harp seals move?
Harp Seals use their flippers to slide on their bellies, and when they travel to a new home or place they swim very fast! Seals are fast swimmers, and spend most of the year in the sea. Harp seals migrate south in the autumn and north in the summer, which can be a journey of up to 8,000 km total. They can also move very quickly across the ice, by sliding along the ice on their stomachs.
How a harp seal looks like?
"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."

Where is the habitat of a harp seal?
"Harp seals are found in the Arctic and in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. They live in the open sea but are also dependant on pack ice, where they breed and give birth. There are three major communities of harp seals – one breeds in the Gulf of St. Lawrence off the coast of Newfoundland, another north of the Jan Mayen islands in the Greenland Sea, and the third in the White Sea. Harp seals like to be with other seals, and tens of thousands of them will gather together during the breeding season. They are also found in large groups when migrating, feeding and resting."

What type of home do harp seals build and live in?

"Seals are fast swimmers, and spend most of the year in the sea. Harp seals migrate south in the autumn and north in the summer, which can be a journey of up to 8,000 km total. They can also move very quickly across the ice. Harp seals are known to eat at least 67 different species of fish and 70 species of invertebrates. The diets of these diverse eaters also vary according to age, season, location, and year. Despite claims to the contrary, it is clear that Atlantic cod, including the northern cod stock, are only a minor component of the annual harp seal diet."
