Seals are an animal we see in Antarctica very often. It's no uncommon for us to paddle right by a group of them or have one swim up to our board. The seals we see the most are called Crabeater Seals. They are non threatening to us, they aren't like Leopard Seals that are predators. Crabbier Seals eat a diet of mostly Krill. When on the ice they are resting and can often be found resting on the ice with several other Crabeater Seals. You can tell them apart from other seals by the shape of their head with a dog-like snout, their coloring, and their scarring. Most of the time they seem pretty uninterested in us, but every once in a while one will lift their head to check out what's going on.
