Seals


This picture comes from Encarta

 

A seal is furry. It has a tail and flippers. Seals can weigh up to 3 tonnes and can be 6 metres long.

Baby seals are white and fluffy. They have lots of whiskers and big eyes.

Seals have dog-like faces and doleful eyes and they have flippers rather than legs to help them swim.

Seals live in the Arctic and the Antarctic, and eat fish, squid, octopus and shellfish.

Seals eat seabirds, clams, penguins and shrimps.  

Their enemies are arctic fox, sharks, dolphins, killer whales, people and pollution.
