What you need to know about the Harp Seal
Harp seals can be found in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, where they spend most of their time swimming. These cute mammals feed on fish and crustaceans. They can remain submerged for up to 15 minutes. Harp seals are also called saddle back seals because of the dark marking on the back and sides of their light yellow or gray coat that looks like a saddle.
