Visit to Seal Island

Do you like seals? If you do, you will love Seal Island. Seals eat a lot of fish. Fishermen don't like seals much. The seals follow the fishing boats and when the fishermen catch fish in their nets, the seals chew through the nets to eat the fish. This ruins the nets and gives the fishermen fewer fish to sell at the market.

Do you know the reason seals swim with one fin above the water? It is because they swim in very cold water. Their fin is filled with blood vessels and when they hold their fin above water, the sun warms their blood and the blood vessels take the warm blood throughout the seals body to help it keep warm.
