Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) Howth 4-7-13

            Size: Up to 300kg (males), 200kg (females) and 2.5 m; males noticeably larger than females.

Head: A flat head profile, often referred to as “the roman nose”, and an elongated muzzle.

Nostrils: parallel nostrils that do not meet.

Colouring: brown/ grey mottling. This mottling can be a distinctive between the two species.

What to look for on land:
Like common seals, grey seals often haul up to rest on land. In general, they sit close to each other, sometime in large groups of several hundred.

What to look for in the water:
Their larger size, more elongated head profile and long nose are the most distinguishable identifying feature in the water. They also venture further out to sea to forage.
