One of the examples is the harbor seal. They reach five to six feet in length and weigh, up to 300 pounds
Males are larger than females. They are true or crawling
seals, having no ear flaps. True seals have small flippers and must
move on land by flopping along on their bellies

The egret is a little over three feet tall with a wingspan of almost five
feet. Its feathers are entirely white. It has a long, sharp yellow bill and long
gray to black legs, with non-webbed feet with very long toes. When the great
egret is in breeding plumage, it has long and delicate plumes on its back
that curl over its tail. Males and females look alike, but the males are a
little larger.

Mud shrimp live on clayish sea floors. They are found a lot on the
Oystergrounds in the North Sea. The right claw is substantially larger than the
left. 'Castle prawn' is perhaps a good name for this animal because it digs
complicated systems of passages and rooms, down to 81 centimeters deep in the
sea floor. Because mud shrimp live so deeply buried in the ground, there is
little known about this animal. fishermen are not happy if this shrimp is
found on oyster banks. Their digging makes the banks unstable.

Sunflower sea stars are
large predators of the sea floor, reaching arm spans of up to three feet.
Adult sunflower sea stars can move at the
astonishing speed of one meter per minute using 15,000 tube feet which line the
undersides of their bodies. They range in color from bright orange to purple,
and have a soft, body and 16 to 24 arms studded with powerful
suckers. They are easily stressed by predators such as large fish and other sea
stars, and have the ability to shed arms to escape, growing them back within a
few weeks. Sunflower sea stars are common in the Pacific from Alaska to
Southern California.

Canada geese are adaptable to many habitats and may thrive wherever grasses,
grains, or berries are available. Because of changing weather, settlement, and
farming patterns, many Canada (not "Canadian") geese have begun to alter their
migrations. Typically, the birds summered in northern North America and flew
south when cold weather arrived. This cycle endures, but some northern
populations have shortened their flight to traditional wintering grounds in the
southern U.S. and Mexico.
