- The Weddell sealLeptonychotes weddellii, also known as the Weddell seal, is a relatively large and abundant true seal with a circumpolar distribution surrounding Antarctica1. It was discovered and named in the 1820s during expeditions led by British sealing captain James Weddell to the area of the Southern Ocean now known as the Weddell Sea1. Weddell seals live in Antarctic regions on fast ice areas and in the sea, and don't migrate2. Underwater swimming occurs under natural ice cracks or under ice areas thin enough so that the seals can chew breathing holes using canine teeth2.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.

Underwater swimming occurs under natural ice cracks or under ice areas thin enough so that the seals can chew breathing holes using canine teeth.
