Male hooded seals attact mates by inflating their unique nasal blatters.  This species lives solitarily except during the breeding season. These seals feed on various fish, including cod and halibut, as well as squid.

Female hooded seals nurse their pups for only four days. During this short time, the pups can double their birth weight from 25 to 50 lbs. This incredible growth helps them survive in the harsh Arctic environment.
