These mammels are generally found in Sea except few fresh water examples in USA, Britain and Norway.
Generally such mammels are carnivorus and have been popular to hunt inside shallow waters.
Besides their wish to stay in bit deeper capacity for hunt and swimming is only visible in Antarctica and in those areas where Polar bear's reach is not easily done.
What seals are able to do is that like Penguins they are able to use their heavy furr and fat to mature according to colder conditions that work in a great living pattern.
This is why they can also be found in distant land such as Antarctica, make great groups and are able to form their identity in such distant lands with ease.
Generally their capacity to live out and struggle in the colder conditions is also due to the fact that they understand the cold oxygen proceesure of the colder waters and use it to greater priority that help to breathe better and live in such areas with great strength.
In not all the species 'group' formation is a common fixture however single routine is a better example to study seal families.
What is separate in varius groups of their families that some ar able to happily live together in pacs of 20, some are limited to only 5 and there are some small family ore groups of limited 3 members that explains the diversity.
Besides such core groups are formed on basis of hierrchy in them and they make sure that who will lead the upper surfing, the lower area and the outer land premises during their outwards venture.
Generally the mother-child relation is very deep in seals as it is in all mammels who directly give them birth after certain time of pregnancy and hence the mother looks after the process by which the child goes on and help in it's existence.
Besides the mother also have to help the child's early days on land, making sure that it get safe from the land predators in which Polar bear is biggest And thence tries to help the child's furr become water proof before it comes to the cold waters.
In such way what it explains is that seal's biggest threat is not their life but their young ones who are on target and they make sure even sometimes sacrificing themselves to protect the small kins and give them better life.
Normally besides natural creatures, Humans also pose threat to Seals trapping them in their nets, trying to follow via ships and attacking them with harpoons and sharp metal attackers.
However human's chemicals are also a chalenge for the seals as the murcury in form of chemical metal has been found in many seal's stomach in recent cases due to which these creature die in form of starvation.
Ultimately the local Aboroginal clans also hunt the seals for their fats, oil and heavy meat for who's exchange they get heavy money from the visiting groups and become wealthy.
It is essential that we make sure that marine laws come to effect in their case and as a special unit is formed for Whales so there should also be one for the Seals.
Though IUCN closely looks on their count, there is still a challenged whether they would be survived in right stature and some of the species are in Endangered and Vulnerable category.
In this way we need to appreciate their existence, want to save them with all the laws and their hunting for meat And once all that process take place they may exist longer for ecology of Arctic and Antarctica.
