Grey Seal
Noms alternatifs : Gray Seal, Helichoerus grypus, Atlantic seal, Horsehead seal
The grey seal is a large species of seal that can be found North Atlantic waters.
They can range in color from a medium brown to very dark grey and certain spots of their body tend to fade as they get older. The males are almost twice as large as the females.
The grey seals are protected by the Conservation of Seals Act, but individuals that are causing damage to fishing nests can be legally killed.
There is a Celtic legend about a seal that was once a human, and sometimes can resume the human form.
