Freshwater seal information


Baikal Seals resting on a rock outcrop in Lake Baikal

Freshwater seals are pinnipeds which live in freshwater bodies. The group is paraphyletic in nature, the uniting factor being the environment in which these pinnipeds live. The vast majority of all modern seals live solely in saltwater habitats though this is likely due to the rarity of sufficiently large freshwater bodies rather than the limitation of seal biology.
