Pacific+Harbour+Seals

During our whale watching trip in spring of 2009, I observed pacific harbor seals. Pacific harbor seals are usually found in the north pacific region, they also migrate up river and into lakes. These seals spend a good part of there time on the beach, where they dip for clams and sleep in the sun to bring up there body temp. They also sleep on the ocean floor. When there not sleeping they are found swimming on the surface of the water, they swim at speeds of 5 hpr. pacific harbor seals have black, gray and , white spots. They also have small round heads and an average body weight of 250 pounds.
