Seal Facts - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Seals like this one photographed during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem Experiment (SIPEX-II) in Antarctica, depend on sea ice to survive They hunt for food, such as fish and krill, under the ice, and use the ice surface for rest and to have their pups (Photo by Peter Kimball, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
Studying How Seals Adapt to Extreme Environments Could Lead to Benefits . . . However, seals appear to manipulate how glucose is transferred between maternal and fetal blood differently from all other animals studied to date and may provide insight into early intervention for human pregnancies with gestational diabetes, the article indicates
Creature Feature: Elephant Seal - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution About Elephant seals You may have seen (and heard) elephant seals on a beach: roaring, clumsy and (let’s face it) terrifying as they jostle for mates These enormous, blubbery marine mammals awkwardly belly-flop around on land, but are elegantly adapted for life in the twilight zone—where they spend 90% of their at-sea time Two distinct species, the Northern and Southern elephant seal
About Elephant seals - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Elephant seals’ large eyes are specialized to detect bioluminescent glimmers in low light, but they rely just as much on other senses to hunt and escape sharks and orcas in the twilight zone Their inner ears have adapted to amplify sound and adjust to pressure changes, while their whiskers (called vibrissae) help the seal locate prey and navigate—much like a cat’s whiskers
Edge of the Arctic Shelf - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Seals (family Phocidae) Five types of seals spend at least some time in arctic waters: bearded seal, ringed seal, harp seal, hooded seal, and harbor seal Bearded and ringed seals spend their entire lives in the Arctic Hooded and harp seals spend summers in the Arctic, and harbor seals only occasionally venture north into the Arctic
Antarctic ecosystem – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Antarctic animals all make their living in the ocean, because the land is too cold, dry, and dark for plants and animals Antarctica's coastal seas are especially important because they shelter an abundant ecosystem, supporting large predators such as penguins, seals and whales Find out about this unusual ecosystem, and how so many big sea creatures depend on tiny plant cells to keep the
The value of iron for a seal The seals’ whiskers act as a sort of dietary timeline, incorporating molecular signatures from various food sources as they grow Using a technique called stable isotope analysis, the researchers can identify different signatures in a seal’s whiskers and match them to potential prey items
Seals and Wild Horses on Sable Island, Nova Scotia A staggering proportion of gray seals don’t make it to their first birthday WHOI biologist Michelle Shero is looking into the influence of iron in seal mothers’ milk on pup survival rates
