[|The Harbor seal](known as the common seal) is a true seal found around arctic and temperate marine coasts. The Seal was spotted for us resting on a booey while we were on a boat ride in the San juan islands in the Puget Sound area. The Seal had characteristics of most sterotypical seals. It weighed around 200+ LBS I would say. and it was about Five feet and brown. This type of seal is a real common thing for one to see while in the San Juan islands, along with other marine life such as certain breeds of whale, and many birds were found in the area as well.

Some Basic information of The Harbor Seal: They are seen in the San Juan islands year round. They have an average life span of up to 26 years. They range in weight of about 180-370 LBS and they can grow up to 6 ft. They eat a variety of fish, sucha as flatfish and many crustaceans and even octupus and some squid. These seals like to lie on rocks and the shorelines usually away from predators of the Ocean and usually are near fish for food.
