*** About Harp Seals: Harp seals are captivating marine animals known for their distinctive coat patterns and reliance on icy habitats. Primarily found in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, these seals are highly adapted to their cold environment, with a thick layer of blubber for insulation. Social and vocal, harp seals migrate extensively, following the advance and retreat of sea ice to feed and breed. During the early months of life, harp seal pups are known for their strikingly white fur, which provides camouflage on the ice from predators. Conservation efforts are critical for these creatures as climate change threatens their icy habitats.
