At times, in places where they congregate to rest such as \u00cele Rouge or \u00cele Blanche, one can hear the loud cries of gray seals; hearing these genuine howls is akin to listening to a pack of wolves in the middle of the forest.<\/p>\n<p>On the water, the sizable gatherings of gray seals are hard to miss, even if only their heads and imposing snouts are visible sticking out of the water. These seals are massive: the largest males can tip the scales of 350\u00a0kg. That&#8217;s enough to intimidate harbour seals (males of which weigh about 100\u00a0kg) with whom they often share rest areas on the rocks or tidal flats. Harbour seals are observed as they while away the time on boulders in the Fjord. A young harbour seal comes as a surprise to the GREMM team as it is spotted in the middle of a herd of belugas off of \u00cele aux Basques.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il s\u2019agirait d\u2019une appellation ancienne pour les phoques, pointant vers une esp\u00e8ce en particulier selon les r\u00e9gions, et qui s&#8217;expliquerait entre autres par la ressemblance de leurs cris avec ceux des loups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-observation-of-the-week"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Sea Wolves&quot;
