Video of this species may be seen at Seal, Harbor (Oregon).
The complete mammal listing may
be seen at the Mammal Species Listing page.  The Harbor Seal
is found in the costal waters of the temperate and arctic zones
of North America.  There are claims that the spot pattern on
Harbor Seals is unique to the individual and that is probably
true - but how would you prove it absolutely.  Video of this individual
can be found in the Mammals video portfolio.
