Does a seal live alone or with others?

Seals are social animals and generally live in groups called colonies or herds. However, the exact social structure can vary depending on the species.

Here's a breakdown:

* Harbor seals: Often live in smaller groups of a few individuals, but can form larger groups during breeding season.

* Grey seals: Form larger colonies, especially during breeding season, with hundreds or even thousands of individuals.

* Elephant seals: Live in harems, where one dominant male mates with several females.

* Monk seals: Can be solitary, but sometimes form small groups.

While seals are social, they may also show some solitary behaviors, especially when resting or giving birth.
