WHAT DOES COMMON SEAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

common seal

Harbor seal

The harbor seal, also known as the common seal, is a true seal found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. The most widely distributed species of pinniped, they are found in coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Baltic and North Seas. Harbor seals are brown, tan, or gray, with distinctive V-shaped nostrils. An adult can attain a length of 1.85 meters and a mass of 132 kilograms. Blubber under the seal's skin helps to maintain body temperature. Females outlive males. Harbor seals stick to familiar resting spots or haulout sites, generally rocky areas where they are protected from adverse weather conditions and predation, near a foraging area. Males may fight over mates underwater and on land. Females bear a single pup after a nine month gestation, which they care for alone. Pups can weigh up to 16 kg and are able to swim and dive within hours of birth. They develop quickly on their mothers' fat-rich milk and are weaned after four to six weeks. The global population of harbor seals is 5–6 million, but subspecies in certain habitats are threatened.
