They also use rocks and ice near the shore to rest and stay safe from predators like orcas and sharks. When it's time to have babies, seals find quiet spots on the ice where they can take care of their pups. Their flippers help them swim fast to catch food and escape danger.
One big danger is pollution in the ocean, like plastic and chemicals, which can make their home unsafe. Another threat is fishing nets; sometimes seals get tangled in them and can't escape. Climate change is also a problem because it melts the ice where seals rest and have their babies.
People are worried about seals because these problems can make it harder for them to survive. Thankfully, many people are working to protect seals by keeping the ocean clean, making safer fishing nets, and fighting climate change to save their icy homes!
