Harbor seals exhibit a variety of body colors, ranging from
spotted white to dark grey to brown. Most have a mottled
pattern to their fur. Often their tears give them "raccoon
eyes"

Seal Facts:
Some harbor seals display signs of iron oxidation known as
"red pelage". Iron oxidation or red pelage is a condition that
causes the hair of certain seals to turn red. The condition is
thought to be caused by an accumulation of iron on the outer
surface of the animals hair. |
