arctic harp seal diet

safely captured and relocated a young seal for its own safety. a young harp seal was spotted lounging on the ice in rye over the weekend.

arctic harp seal diet, not unusual this time of year, but in this case it had made its way onto a marsh with tight creaks and a bridge separating

it from the ocean. so our fear is that at low tide there's no water under this bridge, so he has a limited window that he can get in and out, and we have given him a little over a day to figure it out on his own, but he is going a little further in.

they're much more vulnerable on the ice like that. with growing worries about predators and limited food supply, trained members of the new hampshire marine rescue team put a plan in place to relocate it to the harbor. out on the ice, two of them

carefully approached it with crowding boards, with the hope of guiding it into a crate. you can see that she was growling and was showing her teeth and that's her letting us know that she's going to stand her ground, which is the main reason why aside from just being

against the law why we don't want the public to intervene with these animals. give us a call instead. once in the crate, he is found to be she, and is quickly moved across the harbor to a beach, measured and tagged, her information entered into a

national data base. she didn't need rehabilitation, she looked great. and then, she's back on her own. so we wanted to step in and get her pointed in the right direction as best we could to

get her on her way.
