The wide Arctic ocean has a collection of different seal species which inhabit its blue plains annually. There are five different species in total - these are the harp seals, ringed seals, bearded seals, ribbon seals, and the hooded seals. There is also a species named Wedell seals which are torn apart from the other species because they are so very gentle that they are often regarded to have well developed humane intuition.

Wedell seals dive to hunt fish on a regular basis. When on the hunt for the perfect meal, they can often submerge themselves as deep as 400 metres.

The female of the species is smaller then the male. The male can weight up to 6000 pounds in total, and the female seal can weight up to 2000 pounds less. A newborn baby wedell seal weighs around 100 pounds.

The front flipper of the seal is smaller then the back flippers, and has five webbed toes. Often there is a double layer of fat called blubber on the seal, this is used to keep them warm in temperatures which are sub zero degrees. The Harp seals are covered by a coat of white fur when they are young, however a full fledged male develops well defined black marking on their head and body.

The seal's body is like a torpedo in the water, their slimline forms can swim very fast with much ease. They often swim in groups, which are also called schools. This is as much for their pack's protection, as it is for hunting purposes. A seal loves to spend time in the water, and can dive for up to nine hours on end. They close their eyes when they dive in order to protect their eyes from the salt in the water.

The sea lion is a mighty well developed animal, with the adapted skill to walk on land as well as the water. Their flippers have a bone structure that is similar to the human hand. The sea lions use these flipper hands to move their mighty weight on land, as well as in water. The webbed flippers are like a duck's foot - the sea lion can propel forward, with the back flippers being used for steering.

The seal's diet consists of a variety of sea creatures which include cod, squid, clams, salmon, flounder, smelt, herring, anchovies, and octopus. This total flesh eating diet categorises the seal as a cannibalistic eater. Seals do not have to drink in order to stay hydrated, they get all the water they need from the food that they eat on a daily basis.

Seals breed from May to the month of July. The females of the species mate with the males, the males fertilize the eggs inside the female, and the eggs turns into a baby seal. The growth of the baby seal is similar to that of a human foetus, the baby grows inside and is fed through the umbilical chord. The female is pregnant for eleven months, then the baby seal is born. It is a three second process, which comes easily to the female seal. The baby seals live on milk for two weeks, in this process they put on 65 pounds. They then learn about the ocean, and hunt for their own food.
