Seals

Seals
Seals live in the north and south of the world. In New Zealand we protect seals. Some seals are called leopard, elephant and fur seals and all sorts more. Seals are mammals, they are warm blooded and have live births. The female seal is called a cow, the male is a bull or the beach master and the young are cubs. They are fur covered. Seals lie on beaches, on rocks and ice.
The seal has flippers, which help them swim fast. They swim to catch their food and can dive deep and hold their breath for a long time. Their prey is penguins, fish and squid. The seal is an agile predator. When the seal is cold, they put their flipper up out of the water and soaks up the sunlight like a solar panel.
I think seals are cool creatures. Jack
