And it lives in fresh water in Lake Baikal! The only exclusively freshwater seal..

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah what a life. The seal is the biggest thing in those waters and probably has no natural predators.

It has therefore lost its ability to electrocute on contact.

This is the ideal seal body. You may not like it, but this is what peak sealiness looks like.

Look at you. Sailing through the water majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Blubber blimp.

Check out 'connections' with James Burke and his snazzy 70s suits as well

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

He's 98 years old, so if he did at some point I suspect he doesn't anymore

Seal of quality

I'm assuming seals have always been big bois, but do seals look fatter now than in previous generations, and could that be due to an increase food waste in our ocean
