How much does a seal weigh?

The weight of a seal depends on its species. For example, a harbour seal can weigh between 85 and 150 kg, while a sea lion can weigh up to 1,000 kg or even more.

Seals have existed on Earth for many millions of years. Because of their marine lifestyle, determining their weight in the wild can be difficult. After all, it requires catching them and bringing them to the surface, which requires specialised equipment and knowledge. Knowing the weight of seals is important for ecological research, determining their health status and for making decisions about species protection and conservation.
