Which is the world's most common seal?
The most common seal is the crab-eater seal, whose numbers are estimated to be between 15 and 40 million. This is equal to the number of all other pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses) put together. Crab-eater seals have special teeth designed for eating tiny sea creatures called krill, although they also eat fish.
Crab-eater seals usually live in the Antarctic pack ice.
