                  Harbor Seals Migrate to Haven in East China

   by Reuters

   Dozens of harbor seals were recently seen on the islands of Yantai City
   of east China's coastal Shandong province.

   The seals, bathing in the sun and swimming in the water of the west
   Pacific Ocean, were believed to be the first batch of the animal this
   year migrated from the far north in Russia.

   About 200 seals migrate from the Frigid Zone to northeast China every
   year from March to June through the Bering Strait and the Sea of
   Okhotsk to spend the warm spring and breed.

   The animal, under China's state-level protection, are usually found
   along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern
   Hemisphere.
