Seals in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada are a common sighting while exploring the island. In fact, this furry seal was lounging on the slipway while we were trying to launch the jet ski in Bay Bulls. The critter delayed our boat launch as he was taking over the launching ramp with his sunbathing. It is important to remember that while seals look cute, they are wild animals and are not to be approached or fed. I have witnessed a North Atlantic seal become quite aggressive when it felt threatened by humans. 
 
Six species of seals were present in Newfoundland waters on my adventures and included harp, hooded, grey, harbour and fringed seals. Sea ice carries seals from Canada’s Arctic to the waters of NL. The wild marine animals fed on cod fish, herring, mackerel, capelin and whatever delicacies the ocean had to offer around Bay Bulls Canada. Bring your binoculars when visiting east coast Canada to zoom in on the incredible wildlife encounters.
