As temperature rises in northeast China, spotted seals inhabiting Liaodong Bay in Panjin City, Liaoning Province have come out of hibernation. 

A group of spotted seals were recently seen resting on a mudflat of Liaodong Bay, the southernmost breeding area among the eight breeding zones for spotted seals worldwide.

As a national first-level protected wildlife species, spotted seals are the only pinniped marine mammals that breed in Chinese waters.
