The first step is to determine how much iron is in the adult seals’ diets and how that changes throughout the year. Gray seals catch and eat a variety of fishes, crustaceans, and squid, all of which have different amounts of iron. The seals’ whiskers act as a sort of dietary timeline, incorporating molecular signatures from various food sources as they grow. Using a technique called stable ...
Seals like this one photographed during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem Experiment (SIPEX-II) in Antarctica, depend on sea ice to survive. They hunt for food, such as fish and krill, under the ice, and use the ice surface for rest and to have their pups. (Photo by Peter Kimball, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
About Elephant seals You may have seen (and heard) elephant seals on a beach: roaring, clumsy and (let’s face it) terrifying as they jostle for mates. These enormous, blubbery marine mammals awkwardly belly-flop around on land, but are elegantly adapted for life in the twilight zone—where they spend 90% of their at-sea time. Two distinct species, the Northern and Southern elephant seal ...
New research shows Weddell seals avoid making extreme dives for prey during midday, allowing the seals to keep diving over and over without having to pause for long. This allows them to spend almost all of their time underwater, foraging under high-light conditions, which is best for visual hunters. (Michelle Shero, ©Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
