Seals also spend considerable time lying around on rocky islands and
beaches. But they are clumsy and move slowly on land using their flippers.
Baby seals are born on land after a long, 12 month gestation period.
The pups develop rapidly, with some able to swim within a few hours of
birth.
Walruses differ from seals in that they are larger and have large tusks.
They can be over 10 feet long and over 3,000 pounds.
