Largest grey seal colony

According to Official Guinness Records,

The largest grey seal colony is on Sable Island off Nova Scotia, Canada. 100,000 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) arrive at the island every winter to breed. After 18 days the resulting pups are then left to fend for themselves.
The grey seal's name Halichoerus grypus comes from the Greek meaning 'hook-nosed sea pig'.
