Answer 1

The least likely reason that a seal needs ice cover is to consume prey. While seals may hunt in areas with ice, they can typically find prey in open water as well. The other reasons—protecting themselves from the sun, reproducing, and facilitating access to and from the water—are more directly related to their dependence on ice cover.
