A close up of a Harp Seal pups (Phoca groenlandica) hand like flipper. With five fingers and claws, they are remarkably close to the human hand. They use them in much the same way we would as well. It is not uncommon to see them pull themselves across the ice or scratching a hard to reach spot with their nails.
