The                  Harp                       Seal
The	 Harp	 seal	 was	 usually	 found	 in	 cold	 places	 until	 
they	 were	 hunted	 and	 killed.Most	 people	 said	 they	 
were	 extinct	 but	 they	 were	 just	 really	 hard	 to	 find
because	 of the	 lack	 of	 population.




The	 Harp	 seal	 (saddle	 back	 seal)	 is	 native	 to	 norther	 
most	 Atlantic	 Ocean	 and	 parts	 of	 the	 Arctic	 Ocean.It	 
also	 has	 a	 black	 harp	 or	 wish-bone	 shaped	 markings	 
and	 a	 black	 face	 with	 a	 silvery-grey	 body.But	 the	 
eyes	 are	 pure	 black,	 and	 a	 baby	 seal	 starts	 with	 a	 
yellowy-white	 coat,but	 after	 3	 days	 the	 coat	 turns	 
white	 for	 about	 12	 days	 until	 it	 is	 finally	 a	 adult,an	 
adult	 seal	 can	 grow	 a	 length	 of	 1.7	 to	 2.0m	 and	 a	 
weight	 from	 140	 to	 190kg.

There	 are	 many	 reasons	 the	 harp	 seal	 is	 endangered	 
but	 beside	 humans,	 their	 sea	 enemy’s	 are	 killer	 
whales,	 sharks	 and	 polar	 bears	 but	 humans	 take	 fish	 
which	 is	 their	 food	 and	 it	 makes	 them	 have	 to	 look
some	 were	 else,	 pollution	 is	 another	 killer	 that	 
destroys	 every	 thing	 in	 its	 path.	 

There	 has	 been	 lots	 of	 things	 that	 have	 been	 done	 
to	 help	 the	 harp	 seal,	 but	 the	 sea	 enemies	 keep	 
taking	 over	 and	 over	 but	 it	 still	 seems	 there	 is	 
going	 to	 be	 not	 a	 good	 future	 for	 this	 specie.

This	 is	 why	 they	 need	 help	 or	 just	 suport	 to	 help	 
save	 this	 magnisafint	 creature	 from	 extinction.
