		NATURAL HISTORY: Adult Weddell seals are not consistently gregarious, although a number of them may use the same pool of open water for breathing, and loosely associated groups of pregnant females often haul out on the same stretch of sea ice prior to pupping.
		The habitat of Weddell seals is generally on and along the land fast ice close to the Antarctic continent.
		Weddell seals dive routinely to depths of 300 to 400 m and at least occasionally to 600m.

		James was charged with that crime, together with Micky Honomichl (most likely the one who struck the lethal blow), despite being far away from the scene at the moment the accidental death occurred.
		He states that James must be retried or released, within sixty days, recognizing that he did not have a fair trial on the basis of two of the five issues raised by Terry Pechota (ineffectiveness of counsel and the missing Indian representation on the jury panel).
		James admits to participate in the fight and he's charged with the lesser offense of assault against randy Caldwell and Troy Greger, but he's relieved by the responsibility in the death of Caldwell.

		Weddell seals use their large, strong, forward-pointing canine teeth to chew breathing holes through cracks in the ice.
		Since Weddells use their strong teeth to chew and scrape breathing holes in the ice, extensive tooth wear occurs and is often a cause of mortality as older seals lose the ability to hunt or maintain their holes.
		Weddell pups are born in colonies in September and October.
