the whale vs dolphin debate is stupid and pointless and redundant as one is a subset of the other

the seal vs sea lion debate is noble and interesting and fun to tell kids about cuz you can demonstrate using your hands and elbows to show the range of motion on each -guy who was a docent

#its like worth your time to know seal vs sea lion differences because theyre ecologically different and theres misnomers that are real #fur seal is genuinely incorrect. killer whale is not #otariids are sometimes called eared seals but thats only really in academic circles

Otariids

[sealsdaily]

I didn't put their URL here cause i don't want haters on their tail (i get the confusion!), but i always include sea lions in my seal posts due to the fact both "true seals" (phocids) and "sea lions" (otariids) are referred to by Seal, whether it be eared or earless. In fact, every animal in the pinniped clade (which includes eared seals / sea lions) is referred to by "seal"! Which means walruses are eligible also btw no negotiations

Guadalupe fur seal (L) – the Guadalupe fur seal's big "Only God can kill me" energy saw it advance in Round 0.5 with a whopping 74.6% of the vote. For details about the species, see that post.

New Zealand fur seal (R) – this otariid's name is apparently contested between the settler-colonialist nations of New Zealand and Australia, so let me just say that its scientific name is Arctocephalus forsteri and its te reo Maori name is kekeno. They live on the South Island of New Zealand and the southwestern coast of Australia. At one breeding site in New Zealand, mother fur seals will leave their pups upstream at a waterfall where they can safely swim (away from predators and strong currents) while the mothers hunt!

Phocid teeth vs Otariid teeth!

Did you know that aside from their other physical differences, phocids (earless seals) and otariids (eared seals) have differently shaped teeth?

(The left photo is a live elephant seal pup [phocid]; the right photo is a Guadalupe fur seal yearling [otariid])

Phocid teeth are bumpier and have more ridges!

Otariid teeth are more conical all around!

⚠️ Photos below — some blood stained but no viscera

(Left or top photo is a deceased harbor seal, showing the ridges and bumps on its teeth; right or bottom photo is a deceased steller sea lion subadult male, showing the conical teeth.)

Happy to meet you again, i should thank you for being the 1st blog to not think my facts weird, kissed from Brazil!<3

Seal fact:

The Largest Seal Weighs More Than Four Tons

A male southern elephant seal has an average weight of 8,000 pounds while females are much smaller.5 This drastically contrasts the smallest seal in the family of otariids, the Galapagos fur seal, which ranges between 60 to 140 pounds on average.6 Almost all seals, with the exception of the nearly-hairless walrus, are covered in thick fur, and have layers of fat to keep them warm called blubber.

I'm fine with them as long as they don't clog my blog!

I am quite a fan of seals (*Gestures to my OC, Istro*), nice to see you again!

We meet again dear goddess<3 i should thank you for not finding my facts weird<3 kisses from Brazil Nectar 💖

it's really nice to hear from you again, my dear ♡

and why would i find it weird babe? :( even if this isn't something that i actually see often on the blog, it's always fun and entertaining to learn little facts from time to time!

this one tho,, it almost gave me the chills- 😳 like ngl, i saw too many documentary in my life because of boredom and i usually somehow end up watching seal fights in most of them (which are impressive asf) but 4 tons?? bro, this fact makes it even more spine-chilling // also- this is so random but galapagos sea lions are cute as hell 😭

#nectar's rambling #anon message #♡ anon #🎀 anon #seal anon <3 #also- brazil?? #that's pretty far from here :0 #i should thank you for taking your time and interact with lil' old me 😭 #such a shame we only talk once a day 😭 #but i'm still grateful 😖

A structured ancient microbiota is needed to push the conventional continuing development of both mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, the particular epithelial obstacle having its secretory IgA (and IgM) system, as well as mucosally brought on tolerance mechanisms such as the technology associated with Treg cellular material. Especially, polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR/SC) knock-out rats that don't have secretory IgA and IgM antibodies show diminished epithelial barrier function and increased subscriber base involving antigens from meals and commensal bacterias. These people consequently have a very hyper-reactive body's defence mechanism and display frame of mind pertaining to endemic anaphylaxis right after sensitisation; however growth is Selleckchem SAR131675 counteracted by improved common tolerance induction being a homeostatic back-up device.Body size is an important element from the going as well as looking ability in air-breathing underwater vertebrate predators. Satellite-linked dive recorders were utilised during 2003-2004 to investigate the actual looking conduct of 22 man Ca sea elephants (Zalophus californianus, a big, while making love dimorphic otariid) and to evaluate the degree that bodily proportions described alternative amid folks along with looking strategies. Multivariate analyses were utilised to reduce the number of behavioral parameters utilized to characterize foraging tactics (principal aspect analysis. PCA), to identify independently based looking techniques in multidimensional place (ordered chaos examination), also to move each individual in to a cluster or even looking method (discriminant examination). Around 81.1% in the alternative in diving actions between individuals ended up being discussed through three aspects: snorkeling patterns,(PC1), foraging hard work (PC2), and. behavior on the area (PC3). Individuals have been grouped directly into a few specific groupings according to his or her going behavior (shallow, put together level, and also deeper technical scuba divers), as well as jackknife resampling with the information led to appropriate group task 86% of the time. Bodily proportions as a possible impartial adjustable was really related to plunge duration along with period invested ashore and also badly related to time at sea, and it would have been a key parameter within PC2 accustomed to identify these distinctive groupings. Variances among individual-based looking tactics probably had been influenced by variations in body size, that enabled larger wildlife in order to leap more deeply as well as look more efficiently by simply aimed towards different and probably bigger food items. The occurrence of foraging areas of expertise in just a species and age type has ramifications for quantitative acting of population-level predator-prey friendships and environment structure.Background: In spite of a considerable lowering of virological failures pursuing intro of new strong antiretroviral therapies from the latest many years, medication level of resistance continues to be any issue to the control of HIV-1 infection.

i do kinda resent the fact they made primarina a skinny little thingg when its clearly a sea lion like if they made it a little eellike in nature and a little unnatural and scary it would play into the siren idea but instead its kind of just a little lady. i would love if instead they went in the fat lady sings direction and made it very large in the way otariids actually are

cactus sage and taro ✨

cactus - something you're currently learning about: gramschian theories of cultural hegemony and how they're currently reflected in elite sports. also my hyperfix rn is seals, so i know a lot about the evolutionary differences between phocids and otariids

sage - most touching medium of art: all of them. i don't think i could ever pick. the medium that makes me want to create art the most is probably sculpture or painting when viewed in a museum. i recently saw salman toor's exhibition No Ordinary Love at the baltimore museum of art and i could not physically contain myself. i loved it.

taro - what would you say to someone calling to catch up: hi, sorry i never called you back. i still don't know how to drive.

The Bronx is up and the seals are down
