Seals are marine mammals adapted to life in water and on land, known for their sleek bodies, flippers, and acute aquatic abilities. Found in oceans and coastal regions worldwide, they range from the small harbor seal to the large elephant seal. Seals play important roles in marine ecosystems as both predators and prey, and their charismatic behavior makes them a frequent focus of wildlife observation and research.
