There are 35 different types of seals but only six types live in Antarctica Weddell Seals Southern Elephant Seals Ross Seals Leopard Seals Crabeater Seals Antarctic Fur Seals

Population:800,000 individuals Location: Antarctic circumpolar Size:Up to 10 ft long Weight:up to 1000 pounds Diet: Fish, squid, & krill Habitat:Fast shelf ice near cracks and holes Weddell pups are born in colonies in September and October. Females give birth to one pup per year after reaching about six years of age. Mothers provide pups with a rich nourishing milk (up to 70% fat) allowing the pups to gain weight quickly. Weighing up to 60 pounds at birth, by the end of the nursing period (usually 6 to 8 weeks) they have gained as much as 200 pounds.
