Harbor seals wait for food in ice water at the Seal Bay, a scenic spot of Yantai city, East China's Shandong province, Jan 7, 2011. As local temperature falls to minus 7 degrees centigrade, harbor seals at the scenic area were trapped by ice. Staff members have taken efforts to help the harbor seals, one of China's highly protected species, get through the cold winter there. [Photo/Xinhua]
