Harbor seals are difficult for predators to catch due to their agile swimming abilities and streamlined bodies, which allow them to quickly navigate through water. They also have a keen sense of awareness and can detect predators from a distance, often escaping before they are threatened. Additionally, harbor seals frequently use underwater structures and rocky environments for cover, further complicating a predator's pursuit. Their ability to hold their breath for extended periods also gives them an advantage in evading attacks.
