Relaxing Harbour Seal Wall Art Prints
Relaxing Harbour Seal Gifts & Homewares
Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK’s two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they’re not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain’s shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they’re also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
This solitary harbour seal lies amongst seaweed and rocks, completely at ease in its coastal surroundings. With a sleek, spotted coat and soulful eyes, it’s hard not to be charmed by this adorable creature. Whether it’s resting after a dive or watching the world go by, this harbour seal perfectly represents the quiet beauty of UK wildlife.
Enhance your space with this lovely seal in a wall art print, or enjoy it every day on a mug or greeting card!
