Scotland's Big 5 - Harbour Seal

Adult harbour seal males weigh about 85Kg and measure about 145cm in length. Females weigh about 75Kg and are about 135cm long, not much smaller than the males, in fact it is very difficult to tell the male harbour seals from female harbour seals.

Harbour seals prefer more sheltered waters and are faithful to a more restricted range routinely travelling 40-50Km from their haul out site to forage for food.
