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)
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
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
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
Seal Whiskers Inspire Marine Technology - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . . Could seals also use their whiskers to “feel” the surrounding water patterns to track fish that swim by? In the early 2000s, marine biologists at the University of Rostock in Germany began to explore that theory They conducted experiments in which they placed a blindfold and earmuffs on a seal
Antarctic ecosystem – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Weddell Seals and Fur Seals are part of the Antarctic Ocean ecosystem, and krill are major parts of their diets They, along with all seals, were hunted almost to extinction but are now protected Southern elephant seals are also a part of this ecosystem Crabeater Seals feed on krill and fish, straining them from the water with their teeth
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
Caught on camera: Scientists and fishermen team up to film seals in . . . Seals find ease in taking a meal already ensnared in wall-like gillnets cast by fishermen, but at what cost? WHOI biologist Andrea Bogomolni works with the fishing community to record and observe this behavior with the hopes of mitigating marine mammal bycatch
