6. ABOUT AN ANIMAL (Seals)

My favourite animal is a seal. Adult seals are 100 to 130 kilos (males) and 80 to 100 kilos (females). They can swim very fast.

Seals live in Atlantic, The Norwegian Sea, The North Sea and The Barents Sea. Seals eat fish, octopuses, squids etc. Females have about 3 cubs every 5 years.

Sealing is a big problem for the seals, specially in Canada. They hunt seals to sell their skins. Ice melt is also a big problem because it kills a lot of seals every year. Pollution is a problem for seals, too.
