Study Notes

Migration and Seals

Many animals, including birds, fish, insects, and mammals, migrate from one region to another at specific seasons.
Migration is guided by instinct, the sun, stars, and the earth's magnetic field.
Seals migrate to and from breeding grounds and seasonal feeding grounds.

Novastoshnah and Sea Catch

Novastoshnah Beach has the finest accommodation for seals in the world.
Sea Catch is a 15-year-old, huge grey fur seal with scars from savage fights.
He swims from wherever he is to Novastoshnah every spring to fight for a place on the rocks.
Sea Catch is always ready for another fight.

Kotick is Matkah's baby, born in the midst of a crowded season on the beach.
