They do not like deep water and prefer to stay in waters less than 600 feet deep. Bearded seals have fur that is generally gray to brown and unpatterned. The small size of the head and the squareness of the flippers are noticeable when seen out of the water. Like other Arctic ice seals the pups have to learn, very young, how to escape from predators
