description Hooded Seal Overview

The hooded seal is a true seal belonging to the Phocidae family found in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. It’s notable for the large inflatable red bladder present in adult males, utilized during elaborate mating rituals on sea ice. These seals are particularly vulnerable due to population declines and face threats from climate change and human activity. They are primarily studied by marine biologists and researchers investigating arctic wildlife populations and behaviors.
