Seals feed on flounder, herring, squid, lamprey and occasionally salmon and hooligan during high tide and usally rest on the beaches as the tide ebbs. In Prince William Sound and resurection Bay, big community of seal can be observed all year around, and due to the numerous bones found in the middens, scientists have estimated that seals have been living for the past 2,000 years in those areas. They are covered with a very dense brown fur that protect them from the cold instead of a blubber layer. In order to keep this fur clean and full of insulating air bubbles, otters groom constantly.
Males are usually bigger and heavier.
Otters have big webbed feet that propel them quickly and swiftly throught water while the thick tail acts as a rudder. The Alaska population is over 130,000 animals, and they are found in kelp bed along rocky shores and in boat harbor such as Seward and Seldovia. They are bold on the head and have very tiny ears with a nose similar to a bear that point upward most of the time. Males have a harem of females and are very protective to them. Sea Lions feed on various fish species.
