The harbor seal glides through cold northern waters, resting on beaches and rocky coasts across both sides of the North Atlantic and North Pacific. With its rounded head and large eyes, it dives for fish and crustaceans, surfacing with quiet elegance. Boat traffic and fishing nets threaten its peaceful shores.
