📖 1. Overview

The Ringed Seal is a seal that lives in cold, ice-covered seas such as the Arctic Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Averaging about 1.2–1.4 m in length and about 50–68 kg in weight, it uses its foreflipper claws to carve breathing holes even through thick ice over 6 feet (about 1.8 m) deep.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It feeds mainly on cod-family fish and crustaceans, and from winter to early spring it digs lairs in snowdrifts over breathing holes to give birth and nurse its young. Gestation lasts 11 months, and females usually bear one pup a year.
