Males reach lengths of 245cm (8') and weigh 450kg (990lb), females 215cm (7') and 270kg (600lb). The head is long and the seal is often called the"horsehead" seal. The nostrils form a W. The males are dark with light spots and the females are light with dark spots. Grey seals also have a varied diet including fish, crustaceans and squid.
Got several sites when I googled horsehead, and grey seals.. the above cut and paste, is typical of the results, on all the sites I checked..
Spoke with a commercial fisherman tonight, and he thinks they have gotten not only more plentifull over the last several years, he thinks that they have gotten much larger, and agressive as well.
One thing, the majority of both comms, and recs agree on.. it is well past time, that something should be done, with these "Hoovers of the Sea".. (I like that one Bruce!)
Bring Back The Bounty.
