It looks like you might be referring to the "Berber seal," but there isn't a specific animal by that name. However, if you meant the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus), which is found in regions historically inhabited by the Berber people of North Africa, I can provide some details.
The Mediterranean monk seal is one of the world’s rarest and most endangered marine mammals. It is primarily found in the Mediterranean Sea and along the coasts of North Africa and the eastern Atlantic. These seals are known for their distinctive appearance, with a sleek, dark gray or brown coat and a lighter belly. They can grow up to 2.8 meters (9 feet) in length and weigh around 240–400 kg (530–880 lbs).
Unlike other seals that prefer icy waters, the Mediterranean monk seal thrives in warm coastal environments, often seeking refuge in underwater caves and secluded beaches. Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, human activities, and past hunting, their population has drastically declined. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these seals, including habitat preservation and anti-poaching measures.
