Seals

Amazing Animals

by Christina Wilsdon

On land, seals seem like clumsy animals. In the water, however, they are amazing acrobats! They can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes as they zip along at speeds up to 25 miles per hour. They can dive deep, too-some can dive close to a mile down! Readers will learn all about how these fascinating creatures survive in water as well as on land. They'll also read about laws passed to keep seals safe from hunters.
