HARBOR SEAL 



(subadult female; male is similar) 



The harbor seal differs greatly from the sea-lions and fur seal in 

 structure. Note the difference in the shape of the flippers. In the 

 harbor seal the flippers are covered with hair while in the fur seals 

 and sea-lions they are bare and leathery. Harbor seals swim mainly 

 with the hindflippers, fur seals and sea-lions with the foreflippers.
