Resting Harbour Seal Wall Art Prints
Resting 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 comfortably with its right side facing the camera, its expression serene and calm. Nestled among seaweed and rocks, its sleek, spotted coat glistens in the light, reflecting its relaxed demeanor. Whether it’s resting after a swim or simply enjoying the coastal tranquillity, this charming seal embodies the peaceful beauty of the UK’s wildlife.
Bring this captivating seal into your home with a wall art print, or enjoy its serene presence on a mug or greeting card!
