The gray seal is a large carnivore reaching 9.5 feet long and weighing up to 770 pounds. Native to northern Atlantic and southern Arctic oceans, this seal relies on a think blubber layer for insulation against freezing temperatures.
These gregarious animals haul out in large groups to bask, breed and give birth. As active hunters, they maintain a diet of fish, squid and octopus while navigating the cold climates and waters.

Garrison, the gray seal skull replica, just tasted a Mauna Loa Dry Roasted Honey Macadamia Nuts. It, by far, is the best thing that he has ever tasted.
He devoured the entire bag in five minutes. Yep, you guessed it. He is on his way back to get a year’s supply to indulge on during the winter months.
Harper, the harbor seal skull replica, has a secret recipe to make these at home. He is a bit of a hoarder and is keeping it all to himself.
Creston, the hooded seal skull replica, couldn’t care less. He is all about just chilling on the beach.
Glacier, the harp seal skull replica, is at home happily watching 48 hours true crime, munching on crab dip.

| International Seal Day - March 22nd | Every year on March 22nd, the International Day of the Seal promotes the conservation of seals worldwide. It’s also a day to celebrate this amazing marine mammal. A seal is a type of animal called a pinniped, which is Latin for “fin-footed.” Other pinnipeds include the walrus and sea lion. What makes seals different than other pinnipeds is that they don’t really use their flippers to walk. When on land, they usually slide around on their bellies. In the water, their flippers help them swim really fast. Seals are also much quieter and smaller than their sea lion and walrus cousins. |
