Harp seals
By iedutz
Harp seals spend most of their time diving and swimming in the icy waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. These sleek swimmers often hunt for fish and crustaceans at 300 feet (90 meters) and may dive to nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters). They are able to remain submerged for up to 15 minutes. Seals are curious animals and occasionally seek out interactions with scuba divers, even though they are wild animals and are generally not naturally friendly towards humans, they are cute. :DDD
