Seals are awkward on land, but in water they are as graceful as dancers. Some of the 19 seal species live in the Arctic and Antarctic, while others live in warm waters. Most are less than 6 feet long, but elephant seals are huge, weighing up to 8,000 pounds. Seals are still killed for their fur, a practice we are working to change.
