Wanted to try again at a fursona (love my other one, la Creatura, but they're a bit complicated!) Tried to keep it simple and soft, and boiled it down to two creatures I love: seals and donkeys! behold. my new fursona! a Sonkey! name wip??? I am amazed at how attached I am to them already! they are also very inspired by my favourite cuddly toy, Sweep! I love them a lot!!! uses any and all pronouns but defaults to they/them :3

Seals on the Balance of Nature.

Seals are doing well around the United Kingdom since we stopped persecuting them, like these common seals seen earlier this year on a beach in Cornwall near to my daughter’s home. The common or harbour seals are smaller than the grey seals and, I think, look cuddlier although don’t get too close! Their faces are concave, more dog shaped than the grey seal below. Grey seals are larger, often…

3 seal species I see commonly mistaken for each other, and how to tell them apart!

starting off with

Harbour seals/common seals

Harbour seals have a wide variety in coat colours, some having a more sandy coat whereas others have more spotty or dark coats. I find the easiest way to tell them apart is in their face shape!

Pups are spotty with short baby fur, they tend not to be too fat as compared to species that live in colder climates.

Spotted seals

Spotted seals are well... spotted! they have a light underbelly and a darker grey top side, their whole bodies are covered in spots.

Spotted seal pups are fluffy and fat, they have a white coat. Not to be mistaken for harp seal pups as they lack the darker snout that harp seals have.

Ringed seals

Ringed seals are smaller than harbour and spotted seals, they have ring like markings along their backs and have shorter snouts. They live in cold climates so are very blubbery and round. Male ringed seals get dark wrinkly faces as they reach maturity.

Ringed seal pups are very small and white, with short snouts and little eyebrow dots.

hope this helps!
