North the Harp Seal

Spending most of their time in arctic coastal waters, the harp seal is easily identifiable by its gray coloration and black harp-shaped marking on the male’s back. Harp seals are the most abundant seal species in North America and are extremely social creatures, forming large colonies on land and hunting in pods of up to 100. With a poor sense of smell, harp seals rely on their strong ears and eyes when hunting and swimming.
