Safari Tip:
One of the best places to observe both grey and common seals in the U.K.
is at Blakeney Point, Norfolk, England.

Latin name: Phoca vitulina
Size: Grows to around 170cms.
Distribution: Seen around the coast of Scotland, Ireland and the south and east coast of England.
Months seen: All year round.
Habitat: Coastal areas.
Food: They feed on fish
Special features: Despite the name, these are less common in British waters than the
grey seal.
 The head of the common seal is more rounded with a shorter muzzle than the
grey seal. Here's one swimming around the Dorset coast.
