These marine mammals are characterized by their spotted coats and vary in color from brownish black to tan or grey. Primarily feeding on a diet of fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods, harbor seals are skilled divers. During breeding season, they haul out in groups to rest and give birth on shorelines and ice floes, which is crucial for pup survival. Social creatures outside of the breeding season, harbor seals often can be seen lounging closely together on rocky beaches, a behavior captured elegantly in this canvas print. ***
