Learn more about the harp seal.
The harp seal is the most numerous seal in the northern hemisphere.
It spends most of the year far at sea at the rim of the pack ice.
The pup is born on the ice. As it has no insulating layer of blubber, the fur is the only protection against the cold shock at entering the world.
The harp seal swims and jumps out of the water. The resistance in air is less than in water so that by “floating” through the air it moves faster.
Why is the harp seal the fastest seal?
In summer the harp seal is at Greenland. Where is it in winter?
Where does the harp seal give birth to its young?
The ringed seal is the mammal that has adapted best to the arctic winter.
It lives in the Icefjord all year and is therefore also called the Icefjord seal.
Even if the winter ice gets up to two metres thick, it survives by keeping breathing holes in the ice open.
The ringed seal gives birth in a snow cave where the newborn is well protected.
