Phoca vitulina

Harbor Seal

Seehund

Harbor Seals feed mostly on fish, including rockfish, cod, flounder, salmon, as well as crab and shrimp. Some learn to steal fish from the nets of commercial fishermen and sport fishermen as they are landing the fish. They feed when the tide comes in, ascending the rivers with the tide and hauling out at low tide. Puntledge River, Vancouver Island, BC. Canada
