what kind of seals are in nova scotia
Grey seal In the Western North Atlantic, the grey seal is typically found in large numbers in the coastal waters of Canada and south to about New Jersey in the United States. In Canada, it is typically seen in areas such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, the Maritimes, and Quebec. The largest colony in the world is at Sable Island, NS. In the United States it's found year round off the coast of New England, in particular Maine and Massachusetts, and slightly less frequently in the Middle Atlantic States. Archaeological evidence confirms grey seals in southern New England with remains found on Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and near the mouth of the Quinnipiac River in New Haven, Connecticut.[13] Its natural range now extends much further south than previously recognized with confirmed sightings in North Carolina. Also, there is a report by Farley Mowat of historic breeding colonies as far south as Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.[3]
Queen's Rangers The Queen's Rangers, also known as the Queen's American Rangers, and later Simcoe's Rangers, were a military unit that fought in the Seven Years' War and on the Loyalist side during the American Revolutionary War. A small number of Black Loyalists, who had served in the Black Brigade and Butler's Rangers, were later merged into the Queen's Rangers. After the war, they moved to Nova Scotia colony, British Canada, now Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, and disbanded, but were formed again in Upper Canada before disbanding again in 1802, a decade prior to the War of 1812. The Queen's Rangers also filled the role of partisan hunters.
