Cool Seal Info

Currently Seals are my largest interests along side turtles. I will make another post later but this is some of the I’ve learn throughout my obsession so far!!!

My current favorite seals are Weddell and Crabeater seals! I know more about Crab eater as they were my first favorite. While their name suggests, they don’t actually eat crabs. Instead, it’s due to their teeth looking like crab pinchers. Another cool thing is that unlike most seals, who do a motion called galumphing, Crab Eaters slither in order to get around!

That’s kind of it in terms of cool facts, I know more but I want to leave more room for the good stuff. Mama seals often give their babies a kiss like thingy in order to recognize their babies. Elephant seals often have a time early in life called “weaning.” This is a stage where they drinking mostly their mama milk. Yet, there is something call a “Super Weaner” (hahahaha) which is when a seal is abnormally big. This is most likely due to them stealing milk from other mama seals. 

That’s it for all the cool info I have!! I’m learning more but I’ve been super busy to take long amounts of time to learn.
