Are seals in the North or South Pole?
Seals can be found in both the North and South Poles. In the Arctic, you can find species like ringed seals, bearded seals, and harp seals, while in the Antarctic, you can find species like Weddell seals, crabeater seals, and leopard seals.
What does the dominant wildlife include in the south polar region?
Penguins, leopard seals, and a wide variety of fish species.
Which ecozone is the farthest south?
Mixed-Wood Plains
How do harp seals survive?
Harp Seals have reasonably thick blubber, at about 2-4 inches thick, and at birth (this is when they are white and fluffy until they moult) they can blend in with their surroundings in Antarctica. They also make burrows in the snow to hide from anything which may be dangerous to them. (these are mostly humans and polar bears) Harp Seals can swim and have been known to hold their breath for up to 10 minutes. They mostly eat penguins, fish, the majority of crustaceans. NOTE! Harp seals live in the Arctic Region while Penguins live in the Antarctic region. They are in complete opposite poles so there is NO POSSIBILITY that HARP SEALS can even encounter common penguins in the South Pole. Leopard seals predate penguins, NOT HARP SEALS. There is NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER for a HARP SEAL TO PREY ON PENGUINS BECAUSE THEY DWELL ON OPPOSITE POLES OF THE EARTH. Learn to make the distinction between LEOPARD SEALS AND HARP SEALS.
Why is the polar bear called the white hunter?
This huge white hunter of the Arctic follows the migrating seals as far south that is why its called the White Hunter.
Is Iceland north of the Arctic Circle?
It is south of the Arctic circle.
Who would win a fight between a polar bear and a leopard seal?
Tough call... I'm glad to say that they will NEVER meet, as Polar bears are north-polers, and the Leopard seals are south-polers. Neither is bi-polar. But Orcas (Killer whales) hunt them BOTH...

What separates the two major ecozones the western hemisphere?
The Isthmus of Panama
Is the South Pole in the Arctic?
No. The South Pole is in the Antarctic. The North Pole is in the Arctic.
How do weddell seals survive in antarctica?
During the Antarctic summer (November-April), leopard seals hunt among the pack ice surrounding the Antarctic continent, spending almost all of their time (except for breeding) in the water. In the winter (May-October) they range northward to the sub-Antarctic islands.
How does global warming affect leopard seals?
Global warming affects leopard seals by causing a decline in sea ice, which is essential for their hunting and breeding. The reduction in sea ice also impacts the availability of prey for leopard seals, leading to potential food shortages. Additionally, changes in ocean temperature and acidity due to global warming can disrupt the ecosystem that supports the seals' food sources.
