*** About Harbor Seals: Harbor seals, scientifically known as Phoca vitulina, are commonly found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. These seals are known for their rounded heads, spotted coats, and inquisitive nature. They are typically non-migratory, remaining in coastal habitats year-round where they haul out on rocks, sandy shores, or glaciated environments. The mother seal rears her pup with great care, often seen nurturing and protecting it from predators. Observing these seals in their natural habitat offers a glimpse into the delicate balance of marine life and the inherent beauty of maternal bonds in the wild.
