Private Lives

BBC One
on BBC One London

Narrated by Jeffery Boswall
The Private Life of the Harp Seal
It's an attractive and fascinating creature of the North Atlantic Ocean. It never comes to land but rears its baby on a cradle of ice off Russia, Greenland or Canada. It can dive down 600ft and hold its breath for over ten minutes by taking down specially concentrated supplies of oxygen in its blood.
Magnificently filmed in the green ethereal depths of the sea below the ice, as well as on the surface, this film penetrates the home life of the harp seal in all its aspects: birth and death; feeding and fighting; moulting and migrating.
A CBC TV production
Producer ROMAN BITTMAN
Presented by JEFFERY BOSWALL (Bristol)
