Some additional freakazoids to start the thread off...
Beautiful portrait of Mr Katsunori from Tokkari Centre, father of Tsuki-chan.
Male ringed seals in adulthood often have prominent face wrinkles all year round that are very apparent during breeding season, creating a heart between the brow. Cute. Katsunori is a strange outlier, because he has these big wrinkles all the time.
Thank you for coming to my sperg out today, anon. This world is one of true wonder if you stop to take it in. No matter how hopeless you feel, how much it feels like the sky is about to fall, the world that came before us will always be there.I'll see you tomorrow maybe.

A young harbor seal happily eats his biggest catch yet, 1972.This photo makes me smile every time.. look at his proud little face. Om nom nom.
>>5126255Did he ever get his bucket back? I must know.

What was the last recorded sighting of Neil the seal?

Soulful thread. I love sealsI think the Ribbon Seal is my favorite. Very beautiful patterns on them that seem so unique for an aquatic species. They also remind me of the pudding cups I used to get as a child.
Thank you for all the contributions, anons. This thread is going swimmingly :)Today's photo is of mochi-mochi chan molting like a little tempura shrimp.
Anon I saw some seals yesterday. I took a videohttps://files.catbox.moe/8sri19.webm
>>5126803what a depressing place to spend your whole life in, no wonder theyre at eachothers throats. what else do they even have to do but stare into space, fuck, or fight.
>>5126811It’s a marine rescue place. Apparently they can’t go back in the wild
>>5126812i see, poor little guys. those places at least in the west barely have enough money to stay afloat so i cant put any blame on the caretakers then for saving them from certain death out in the wild.
Goooood morning, anons. Today's seal is: Mizore, the rescued ladoga pup from Russia and raised in Japan.Rest in peace, sweet angel <3
>>5126999Ladogas are a subspecies of the ringed seal. In adulthood it's easy to confuse them with a ringed, but during infancy they have a very unique brown face that sets them apart. In general, they're more brown than their Japanese relatives and a little smaller, making them the 2nd smallest seals on earth. Russia is known for their "nerpa", a blanket term for all earless seals but often assumed to be just for Baikal seals by foreigners. Living landlocked in lakes for generations has given both species a reverse island syndrome. So tiny... is she even an apple tall? This was one of the first photos taken of her, so I would guess she's about 2-4 kilos in this photograph.
Gyu-morning. Squish.
Today fuckin sucks.
Bonk!. Greedy fucks eat all the fish.
>>5127737c*nadians make me sick
squarsh.
Got any good seal reaction pics?
This thread gets a seal of approval
>>5127872>are ya winnin', son?
>>5127872You have literally no idea. I'll post a fraction of what I have from my collection.
>>5127872I really like this one.
Okay last one because I don't want to spam this thread too much. If anyone is interested, I can post more of them later this week, if not I won't.
>>5127737Idiot human! Triple chomp slash attack!!You call us greedy, but who's the strictly land based species destroying everything in their paths for food that they shouldn't be eating anyway! I piss on you!!>>5127996I love you anon... many of these I don't have. Blessed day upon thee.
>>5128016Hehe, thanks. This particular picture isn't a reaction image. But it is my favorite seal picture I have in my collection. I am very greatful that these loveable marine mammals are not an extinct species, and that we have tons of photos of them that we can share online. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for, the Steller's sea cow, japanese sea lion, and the caribbean monk seal... But I am eternally thankful for what we haven't lost. :)
>>5126256Bought this lad for my momShe loves it
>>5128020>Caribbean Monk SealIt hurts, anon.
>>5128150Yeah I know, but I'm greatful we still have the hawaiian monk seal and the mediterranean monk seal, even though they are both endangered. I'm glad that by some absolute miracle throughout human history these seals have not gone extinct.By the way, I know it's not technically a pinniped, but I still find it hard to believe there used a be a sirenian that was the size of large car that was alive when George Washington was. And to think tragically this behemoth was hunted to extinction since it's discovery by Europeans within just 27 years... I've heard that because they didn't have any natural predators in the wild, they didnt view us as a threat even though the hunters came to their habitat to hunt them to extinction, they still didn't swim away.
>>5128150What's especially tragic about the caribbean monk seal. Was in 1886 there was an expedition near some reefs and a small cay known as "The Triangles" where forty-two specimens were killed and taken away by the two leaders of the expedition and they sent the specimens to museums. So instead of trying to conserve and keep these beautiful pinnipeds alive and protected in a range, rather they had them butchered so they could be preserved in a museum.

Yowza!! I almost forgot to post, 2 hours left. Spotted seal nose weirdness appreciation posting go!!
>>5128432>but heres the sniffer
>>5128433I find it so cute how they can shut and open their noses like with their mouths, almost as cute as Hiyori-chan's smile..!!
>>5127737I've always wondered what the job interview for stuff like this is like>so.. how do you feel about beating arctic animals to death? what sort of person applies for it? surely it pays less than other arctic jobs. "I want to work in the frigid cold but I absolutely do not want to work in the oil or fishing industry
>>5128150>>5128176just collect some Mediterranean ones and set em loose in the Virgin Islands.
>>5128434smug hiyori chan on the 'log
>>5128451Certified egg creature.
;P
Such precious creatures
Today I checked around again to see if any Tokkari Centre stuff had come up on the Japanese second hand market. Yowza!!Tsuki chan's baby furs are top dollar.
Tsuki is so spoiled by her fans.. but she's too cute to blame.>MREHHH
I dwell in this thread, because it is a seal friendly place (*‘ω‘ *)
>>5128443Nobody applies to be a seal clubber. Its seasonal work, done by local fishermen, most of it generational. They bring their sons out at 14-15, have them club a few seals and balls their eyes out, then give them the talk about how it fights overpopulation and is less painful than a bullet...
Aww
Seals are made for clubbing.
>>5128995Fuck off
>>5128998What? You don't want to take some Ecstasy and rave with a seal?
here's a joke:so a seal walks into a club
>>5129096Seals cant walk

>>5126191I use this one as a good luck charm
>>5130521Maybe... of course I lurk around here, it's a seal friendly place. (*ゝω･*)
These creatures are worth protecting
A picture of an incredible rare seal known as the "pirate seal", only found in one lake in Russia in the middle of Siberia. With a small population of only 260.
This song syncs perfectly with this gifhttps://youtu.be/YuGe533mWiA?si=_BtV-qDALeDjk9yN
>>5127737You can't be right in the head to do this. If seals don't trigger a strong caring instinct on you due to being extremely cute you don't deserve to live
>>5128173It needed to be done

>>5131319>dolphins>orangutansAll based animalsYou know who else rapes with startling frequency? Humans. Seals are just like us.
High five!
O_o
Facepalm reaction image, use wisely.
Has anyone petted a seal? Whats it like?
>my chud ass getting up at 7:00AM to go yo work for the day...
Have any of you guys done military service for your country?
Okay, last one. This one's really funny.
>>5131863i've never! once i petted a dolphin and a ray! i wish i could pet a seal
No touch!
Wish this could be me and someone, some day.
My god, look at the size of this thing
>>5131863I petted a big sea lion once. They look soft but the skin is thick with little give, and the fur is relatively stiff (though he was an older fellow so that might have been a factor).
>>5132422
Why doesn't anyone else post in this thread? I feel like I'm the only one who actually appreciates seals on this board?
>>5132543im here too!
>>5131863I got to pet this seal at Ise sea paradise in Japan. cute fat wet dog.
>>5132602you could also pay extra to have a seal sit on your lap. But you had to reserve it in advance.
>>5132562Oh okay then. What's your favorite seal species? For me it's probably the spotted seal. Although I must say that baikals are a very close second.>>5132602>>5132604You are very lucky. In my Country it is a felony to pet a sea doggo.
>>5132543I dont have any seal pics but I monitor the thread
>>5132727That's fine, we appreciate you stopping by. I feel like I never see any pictures of baby walruses posted here, so here's one.
Does anyone know where I can buy one of these? Which store sells them?
>>5132784the government doesn't want you to know this but they are completely free for taking home, I had 78 of them at some point
>>5132423Squish
>WAWAWAWAAWAAA!Literally what did he mean by this?
>>5133189Leopard seals are the only true seal species, that has ever claimed a human life on record. Walruses don't count because they're not "true seals", although they have also killed people before.
If a leopard seal wanted you dead in the freezing Antarctic waters. There is pretty much nothing stopping it from pulling you down under, and drowning you. Such a beautiful and terrifying creature.
>>5133234The diver that was killed was a woman, all alone. The seal pulled her into deep waters and she drowned, it didn't actually kill her itself IIRC. Those big female leos are hyper territorial.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxa6P73Awcg

>>5132543I'm also lurking here without posting, so you know. They're lovely. I appreciate the stuff posted and factoids.
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male seal and male penguin anal sex, Adélie is the most compatible penguin for rape? Not only are they in the ice shelf egg group, which is mostly comprised of penguins, Adélie are an average of 28" tall and 14.3 pounds, this means they’re not large enough to be able to survive harbor seal dicks, and with their unimpressive Base Stats for feathers and access to Ice Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Adélie would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily rape one with your massive seal cock for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Bussy, Retard-Stare, Krill Kill, Feathers, and Three Kilometers From Basecamp It Is Walking Towards The Mountains On The Horizon But Why, along with having feathers to hide birdskin, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Squawk and Cheep, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other avian comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull your gigantic seal cock out enough, you can make your Adélie penguin turn inside out! Adélie is literally built for seal dick. Ungodly feather stat+high krill pool+Ice Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still die from anal rape before coming for more.
>>5132722>What's your favorite seal speciesleopards all the way. crab eaters are cool too
>>5128973>less painful than a bulletGrok is this true?
>>5137799Well, the idea is that you might miss the tiny head and kill it slightly slower. They've got the head the size of a cat, softer still supposedly, so a hit from a bat pretty much liquefies their brains. At least, that's what I've heard them say over and over again. "Of course we are fucking sad! No one doesn't cry out their souls the first 2~3 times they go!" As if that might not be the hint.
Internet Rule 5341: As a discussion of seals continues the odds of the topic hyperfixating on seal clubbing (and, lately, penguin rape) approaches 1.
>>5127737>>5128443>>5128973I wonder if I as an american tourist can travel to canada to partake in the great seasonal seal hunt
