Seal

About

How seal lives

Seals split life between water and shore, using streamlined bodies to hunt fish beneath cold waves. Many seals rely on thick blubber for insulation and energy storage. Polar wildlife relies on insulation, energy storage, and seasonal timing to endure extreme cold.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting seal also depends on keeping polar, coast, ocean habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
