Animal of the Week: Seal

Interesting facts:

Seals are very cute animals. The cool thing about them is that they are mammals, but they only live important parts of life on land and the rest of the time in the water. The seal is related to the walrus and sea lions, but seals can't walk on they're flipper on land like sea lions can.

Where do they live?

Most seals live around Antarctica and the Arctic Circle. Seals live in places where humans have a hard time reaching them, such as Antarctica. Seals can also live in oceans and freshwater lakes.
What do they eat?
Seals are meat eaters. The prey they like to eat is mainly fish, like flounder and salmon. They usually tear their food up into chunks and swallow the chunks without chewing. The large leopard seals prey on emperor and king penguins. They just wait for the penguin to dive into the water, and then they get a good grip on them and shake them to death.

There are about 5 different types of seals that live around Antarctica:

Fur seals - The fur seals are the smallest of all the seals, weighing up to 100 kilograms on average and about 3 to 4 feet long. These seals usually are in packs of two or three usually playing or swimming together.

Elephant seals - Male seals can weigh up to 1000 kilograms and often over 12 feet long. They are said to be not the best looking animal.

Leopard seals - Mainly the top predators in whatever area they are in. They can weigh up to 370 and many have been found to be over 12 feet long. They travel alone a lot, although people have seen them travel in pairs.

Crabeater and Weddell seals - These two types of seals are not really common in Antarctica, but have been spotted rarely. They usually eat krill, but have been said to eat salmon. They spend a good amount of time on ice bergs and ice floats.

To Save A Life.

A couple months ago I went to the movies with my youth group, we saw a movie that changed the way I thought about my life. "To Save a Life" a very inspiration story that happens in many high schools around the world. I would recommend seeing this movie to most teens and several parents. This movie made me realize many things that shouldn't be going on in high school, especially when you are still just a kid. "To Save a Life" has everything from teens partying to the death of one child in their high school. Trying to make a change in a high school can be very difficult; the group you were with can often exclude you. All you have to do is be brave and stand up for yourself and others. (:
Here is the movie trailer if you would like to look more into the movie :

I would like them a lot better if we could just go home after they are over. What do you remember about having fire drills when you were in school? I would like to here about them so comment back.
