It is a major breeding ground of harp seal and hooded seal.

The hooded seal can live to about age 30 to 35.

Other large animals of the sea are hooded and harp seals and squid.

Or, in the case of the hooded seal, recuperate quietly after swallowing a half-dozen rocks.

Harp, hooded and ringed seals stop by occasionally.

Human infants are unusually portly; among mammals, only hooded seals have a higher percentage of body fat at birth.

By 1993, a sharp rise in their numbers was seen and three other species, gray, harp and hooded seals, began to be sighted regularly.

The hooded seal, for instance, was the 3,597th marine mammal it had rescued or recovered in New York.

Harp, hooded and gray seals can also be seen, but more rarely.

In 2006, 17,037 seals (including 13,390 harp and 3,647 hooded seals) were harvested.
