Harp seals live in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. They have dark saddle markings on their backs and light yellow or grey bodies. They feed on fish and crustaceans. Harp seal pups are born with white coats that later turn grey as adults. Humans threaten harp seals through commercial hunting of the pups for their white fur coats, with hundreds of thousands killed each year by the Canadian government's permission. Conservation efforts should focus on banning seal hunting and fur trading to help protect the species.
