Bearded Seals are large-bodied, with relatively small heads, long slender bodies, square front flippers, and prominent facial whiskers. Adult females are somewhat larger than males. Offspring have lanugo (fine, soft hair) in utero that is shed just before birth when they then have silver-blue to brown pelage. Adult Bearded Seals are uniformly gray to dark brown, slightly darker dorsally, and have scattered splotches over their bodies. Hair is short and shed in April-August, with a peak in May-June.

Widely but patchily distributed in Arctic and subarctic regions of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Bearded Seals are typically found in areas with broken free-floating pack ice, and because of their benthic feeding habits, they live primarily in shallow waters overlying continental shelves such as in the Bering and Barents seas. For example, south of Saint Lawrence Island, Alaska, in late winter, Bearded Seals avoided large ice floes (more than 48 m in diameter) and preferred areas of freefloating pack ice between large and small (less than 20 m in ...
