A grey seal popping its head out of the water. It is facing right. It has a rounded grey head with a long snout. The eye is black and there are white spots above and below its black eye and smaller white spots above and below its tiny ear. The water around it is green and wavy.

Seals use whisker movement to follow underwater trails—an approach that could improve robotic sensing Seals are carnivorous marine mammals that are well adapted to hunting for fish underwater, where visibility is poor. In such conditions, seals rely on their highly sensitive whiskers to detect tiny wa...

"seals rely on their highly sensitive whiskers to detect tiny water movements left behind by swimming fish...seals keep their whiskers pulled back (retracted) and actively move them rhythmically to detect subtle water vibrations"

four seals. baby seal, sandy spotted seal that is blepping, sleeping spotted seal with bigger spots (he's drooling), and a brown seal who is going OWO.

🎨 I fell asleep last night, before I could post this on International Seal Day.

I just so happened to have doodled seals recently for my grandma, decided to make them into a lanyard, and then decided to also have them as stickers. :0

A photo of a Walrus, in water. Fun fact: It plays an important role in the religion and folklore of many Arctic peoples. Skin and bone are used in some ceremonies, and the animal appears frequently in legends. The 'Walrus' in the cryptic song 'I Am the Walrus' by the Beatles is a reference to the Lewis Carroll poem, 'The Walrus and the Carpenter'.

Walrus Odobenus rosmarus, of the family Odobenidae. This was one individual amongst several others along the beach. Seen a while back, in Svalbard. Great trip!

📣 Breaking news! Seals have super smooshable faces.

I did not know this, but Oriole (aka Princess Lardass) decided to demonstrate.

Photos taken as I unloaded her at the rehab center, after a 4 hour delay to get her to her new home.

And of course I took photos […]

Environmental heterogeneity plays a bigger role than diet quality in driving divergent California sea lion population trends While the global population of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) is increasing, regional trends show a decline in the Gulf of California (GoC, Mexico) and an increase in the Channel Island...

Several dozen California sea lions on a platform. Most of them are dark brown, with lighter fur on their bellies. The flippers and tails that can be seen are darker and appear almost black. They are squeezed tightly against each other in the photo, with only a few spots where the wooden platform can be seen.
