Seals are marine mammals belonging to the family Phocidae. They have streamlined bodies and powerful flippers, making them agile swimmers. Seals can dive to depths of up to 1,500 feet and hold their breath for up to two hours. Their diet mainly consists of fish and squid, which they hunt using their sensitive whiskers to detect prey movements. Seals often live in colonies on coastal and rocky islands, where they rest and breed. Despite their adaptability, seals face threats from pollution and climate change. Ongoing conservation efforts are crucial to protect these adorable and vital creatures.
