you know, for animals who give birth in snow dens or atop ice and eat nothing but arctic fish, youd think a ringed seal would evolve to overcome brain freezes.

They probably just think they're morbidly obese seals.

That's fine, I actually like Manatees and Dugongs I think they're adorable. But they should have their own thread, if this is a pinniped themed thread.

Anyway it's time for me to post Baikals because they're so damn cute.

Russia had a celebratory Victory Day event, which commemorates the day Nazi Germany was defeated. Where they trained Baikal Seals (Nerpas) by having them shoot water guns and sniff out mines. It also gave us these adorable pictures of the seals.

Correction, they are freshwater potatoes. I sometimes forget Baikal Seals along with Ladoga, Saimaa, and the extremely rare Ungava seal, are the only freshwater seals in the world. Let me know if you guys learned anything?

Here's a picture of what a Saimaa ringed seal looks like. They are a critically endangered freshwater seal only found in Lake Saimaa of Finland, with estimated numbers between 400-500 seals left.

It's darkly funny because he does actually have a reason to take the blackpill.
He and his father both have skull deformations of some kind that causes how their face sticks out to look like a flat slope.
I wish we knew more about deformities in other animals because I've always wondered if he has cognitive issues because of it.

Leopard seals are the only true seal species, that have ever intentionally killed a human. The only other example is a walrus from a Chinese zoo that drowned a zoo keeper, however this was not done intentionally and walruses aren't true seals.

In other words, respect the leopard seal. Unless you're an orca they don't give a shit.
>>
>>5140779
The one person ever killed was a tiny woman dragged deep under the water and drowned by a big territorial female. They're smart, they can tell if the diver is a woman.

Ever since I introduced my mother to the seals of Tokkari center two years ago she's been almost as enamoured with seals than me.

Because we're both aspies who live alone and have no reason to mask, often without realizing we make seal noises at eachother all the time as an acknowledgement of the others presence.

She goes gyuuu as she passes in the hallway, i make a weddel seal BWEUHHH back and because its so fun we keep going without even realizing.
Echolalia is a funny thing

Anyway, this month is her birthday and I managed to track down a copy of a seal fandom zine she and I have spoke about before off of a japanese consignment store for a great price. I'm so excited for it to arrive.. it has so many unpublished photos and interviews about popular seals with staff from several aquariums.

When it arrives, I'll post photos of all the pages
