The ringed seal has many of the same habits as the larger grey seal and can usually be found in the same types of locations. Unlike the grey seal, ringed seals are solitary.
Butchering a ringed seal provides less meat and fat, but the fur is only slightly less valuable than that of the grey seal. Like the grey seal, its fur is poorly suited for making clothing and is best used for trading.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the ringed seal thusly:
The ringed seal lives in the sea and can be found on coastal regions of the UnReal World. They are relatively small seals, weighing less than 100 kg and rarely greater than 1.5 m in length. Ringed seals have distinctive patterning of dark spots surrounded by light grey rings.
Ringed seals are less common than the other seal, the grey seal, and they are more solitary animals too. They spend most of their days in the water but occasionally come to rest on rocky surfaces or ashore.
Seal-tribe, Islanders and Sartolaiset sometimes hunt the ringed seal in similar fashion they hunt the grey seal. Ringed seal fur isn't very thick but still nicely warm.
Adult ringed seal's length is 100-170 cm and weight 50-130 kg. They live in the sea, usually in small herds. Ringed seals are also met in the biggest lakes of the Kiesse.
