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!

feeling stagnant in life . So walking more. Taking new directions. Reading more. Eating nice food . Trying to figure things out slowly . What resonates , what doesn’t. What boundaries do I need to set with people, w work. Am I taking enough time to rest? Im deffo in an introvert mood. I have been for the last month. I don’t feel like I have anything particularly meaningful to share . But I guess my relationships r not defined by just what I can say. Anyways feels like im going through a rebirth !

there is a soft murmur in my conscience that tells me: everyday is easier because i have you to look forward to. you are warm and fuzzy and intelligent and i love your hands.

i love you and i want to write about it, tell you about it.

9pm at home.

mene stealthily goes into the kitchen. who is she trying not to alarm? me. but i notice her anyway. “hey kirapo vozie?” my eyes narrow at her figure that’s closing towards the bedroom door. other nights i catch her already in the act of boiling the water. when she spots me she bends down quickly. ridiculous really. “ala nu rei tsu sü cie” and she does.

you have ordinary activities that become routine that become rituals that become vigils. tonight i’ve made myself a cup of miko cha who’s warmth wanes unlike the warmth of a routine i no longer engage in.

years from now i will have distant memories of a sacred 9pm ritual, and i hope then too i will make myself cha as vigil.

i’m dying out like a star and it’s about to be a spectacle. so grab your blankets and wait and watch as I shoot across the dark sky. don’t forget to place your wishes, maybe that was the purpose of my whole being - to burst into stardust and make your life happier.

sometimes i wish i was a phoenix

i’d like to marry you in a small chapel with saints looking down at us from stained glass windows, and a small congregation of only people who’ve brightened up our lives looking up from their seats. the aisle wouldn’t be too long so i wouldn’t be too anxious to reach you, and if i reach you faster we’d be married sooner.
