Seals Habitat
Pinniped Seal / Northern Elephant Seal
Seals Habitat
- These marine mammals require land, or haul-outs, for child rearing and
rest. Frequently viewed members of the Pacific Northwest seal population
include:
These are 3 of the local harbor seals that live in Victoria Harbour at Fisherman's
Wharf
- In the tourist season in Victoria our harbor seals are the best
panhandlers in Victoria as tourists and locals alike feed them with fish
strips from the local Fish Store on the Wharf. The seals habitat in this
case is becoming mixed very closely with humans.
Harbor seals abound in the Victoria BC area which is very suitable habitat
for the seals to haul out on rocks and sun themselves.

Seals habitat area.

tour to Race Rocks
As fish populations shrink seals follow sport fishing boats and to the
fisherman's chagrin steal the fish off the line.
