All About Baby Seals

Baby seals are super cute animals that live in the ocean! One special thing about them is their white fur. Let’s learn why it's important!

Why Do Baby Seals Have White Fur?

When baby seals are born, they have a soft and fluffy coat that is pure white. This helps them in a few ways:

• Camouflage: When they are on the ice, their white fur makes it hard for other animals to see them. This keeps them safe from animals that might want to eat them.
• Keeping Warm: The thick fur helps keep baby seals warm in the cold water and icy land where they live. It’s like wearing a cozy blanket!
• Growing Up: As they grow older, baby seals will lose their white fur and get different colors that help them blend in with the ocean and the rocks.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that baby seals can swim almost as soon as they are born? They learn quickly how to dive and hunt for food!

So, baby seals are not only adorable with their white fur, but their fur also helps them to survive and have fun in the ocean!
