What is an earless seal's habitat?

Earless seals, also known as true seals or phocids, primarily inhabit cold and temperate waters around the world. They are commonly found on coastal ice, rocky shores, and sandy beaches where they haul out to rest, breed, and molt. Some species prefer deep ocean waters, while others are more coastal and may inhabit estuaries and fjords. Their habitat ranges from the Arctic and Antarctic regions to warmer coastal areas, depending on the species.
