Down in Antarctica, Ukrainian scientists and polar explorers have named this year's firstborn Weddell seal pup!

Meet "SeaBaby Svitozarovych". The name is in honor of Ukraine's marine drone. It was born on Winter Island near the Vernadskyi Research Base. Biologist Svitozar Davydenko was the first to find it and had the honor of naming it out of hundreds of suggestions.

"SeaBaby is already 10 days old. He is actively growing and will soon begin to get acquainted with the ocean. Weddell seals start living independently and feeding in the water after the weaning period is over, approximately seven weeks after birth." (September 26, 2024)

I like how sometimes adult Weddells will look at parts of their own body like this is the first time they've ever seen such a thing

A sweet gorgeous angel from Antarctica (a Weddell seal) blessed us with its presence (took a nap on the beach) today. Seeing one of these guys is a very rare occurrence in Aotearoa, and felt very special. I only have two NZ pinnipeds left to spot now!

the fucked up thing about seals is that you look at pictures/videos of them and they seem like they should be the size of like. a large dog. a puppy. BUT THEYRE NOT!!

THEY CAN BE LIKE. 10 FEET LONG.

WHAT???
