This month's exclusive stickers for my sticker club... Have I told you guys that I really like seals?

[dontforgetukraine]

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)

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!

[ihavea-natural-curiosity]

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.

Whales making waves

Bertie Gregory tracks a pod of orcas as they prepare to ‘wave wash’ a Weddell seal. Bertie took two month-long expeditions searching for orcas. ‘We spent every waking minute on the roof of the boat, scanning,’ he says. After battling high winds and freezing conditions, he captured this remarkable behaviour with his drone. These orcas belong to a group that specialises in hunting seals by charging towards the ice, creating a wave that washes the seal into the water. With rising temperatures melting ice floes, seals are spending more time on land, and the behaviour of ‘wave washing’ may disappear.
