The Ungava Seal (Phoca vitulina mellonae) is a subspecies of harbor seal, endemic to a small series of freshwater lakes in the Ungava Peninsula, located in northern Quebec. It is noted for being one of the few examples of freshwater seals. It is believed they may number less than 100 individuals.[1] They are currently classified as an endangered species.[2]
