Profile Picture: Yo the ringed seal from Okhotsk Tokkari Center, Japan. [source unknown, though attributed to Tokkari Center]
Header: Niko the Baikal seal from Toba Aquarium, Japan. [x, edited by me]
yo-chan and niko love trans people, they told me themselves 🏳️⚧️
hii! could you please identify this seal?
hello! unfortunately, I do not know much about this seal, except that they may be a Baikal seal or even a Ladoga ringed seal (though I'm less confident about that)
thank you genuinely for this blog. i have a friend who’s obsessed with seals and sometimes he’ll show me some seal video on his phone and be like “which one is this” and i have to stammer my way through half-remembered names while he waits for me to get it. one day i’ll learn them all
of course!!! thank you for enjoying it 🩷🩷🩷 there are many seals in the world but, with enough strength and courage, I believe we can name them all
I just found you and I hope you know I love you
this made my day 🩷🩷🩷🩷 thank you so much!!! I try my best :D

FAQ
Q: What is this? A: This is a blog dedicated to identifying famous seals found in posts. "Famous" is defined as a seal whose name, species, and current location is known. Unnamed and wild seals are usually not considered.
Q: Why did you make this? A: I made this blog because I noticed that it didn't exist and I think it's important that it does, not only for identifying seals, but for being able to find the sources of seal photos. So often on the internet, people repost images without saying where they got them from, which can make the work of trying to identify seals that much harder. I hope that, with this blog, I can provide this resource to those interested and encourage people to cite their sources.
Q: What are your qualifications? A: Nothing, really, besides running this thing for well over a year at this point. I started it because nobody else had. At the time that I started, I didn't feel at all qualified, but I've learned a lot through running this blog. I never imagined it would get as big as it has, though! So, thanks for taking interest!
Q: Who are you? A: A Tumblr user. I'm bad at posting and my blog's mostly fan content, so unless you're into the same stuff I am, my blog's probably not worth checking out. Maybe one day I'll link it here.
Q: Who is your favorite seal? A: I love so many seals :< Yo-Chan got me into seals, though, so probably her.
Q: What's a fun fact about you? A: I'm lactose intolerant.
tags guide (for my sake and yours)
#identification - all posts which successfully identify seals
#uncertain identification - all posts where seals are identified without 100% confidence and where more information is needed
#unknown identification - all posts where little to no information is known about the seal
#unconventional identification - silly identifications, such as plushies, artwork, and unserious additions (such as the kroshik baked potato)
#re-identification - if a seal has already been identified, a redirection to the original identification will be made
#correction - if I make a mistake or new information is added to a post, I will reblog the post again and tag it with this
#seal merchandise - any post that contains a product depicting a seal
#artwork - any post that contains artwork of a seal
#seal asks - asks tag
#not an identification - any post that does not attempt to identify a seal
#seal of approval - the equivalent of me pinning your creations to my fridge door
#original post - all posts that are not reblogs nor asks
all identifications are tagged with the seal's name, species, and location
Stupid niko rolls around like a stupid thing and does stupid stuff
Fun fact: though this may at first appear to be our beloved Niko the Baikal seal from Toba Aquarium, Japan, it is not!
do you have anything on Mon-Chan, from Tokkari Center? She was a ringed seal that i can only assume passed away or was released long ago, but i have like nothing on her.
photo from a blog post i found
hello! unfortunately, I do not know much about mon-chan. if anyone else does, feel free to leave a comment!
HOLY FUCKKKKKK NEW ULTIMATE VIDEO FOREVER
This is Yo the ringed seal with special guest vocalist Tsuki the ringed seal from Okhotsk Tokkari Center, Japan.
i think this seal is hiyori, but im not completely sure. can you confirm o wise one
This is Sora the spotted seal from Echizen Matsushima Aquarium, Japan. [x]
with the recent change to reblog chains, (at least until it gets reverted/altered), I will be changing how identifications are formatted so as to not draw notes away from the original post

hello seal overlord, may you please identify which seal this little stupid idiot creature is? thank you
(no source unfortunately :[ )
hello there! I am not entirely sure who this seal is. my best guess would be a Baikal seal or a Ladoga ringed seal from somewhere in Russia? I will open it up to the general public
This might be Kuzya the Baikal seal from Moskvarium, Russia.
(thank you randumbkatt)

Who is this lovable fellow?
hmm, I'm not sure. the tags identify this as Tsuki the ringed seal from Okhotsk Tokkari Center, Japan, but I have my doubts
It is Tsuki! You can tell it's her cause of the "X"-like mark on her forehead :)
wow! she's gotten so big! she's growing up so fast!!!
This is Tsuki the ringed seal from Okhotsk Tokkari Center, Japan.
hello hello i have a very pressing matter
my friend then me this GIF and i can’t tell if this is niko or nikos face on a grain of rice
this is truly difficult indeed! it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between these two photos. however, after analyzing them carefully using state-of-the-art technology, I can be almost (but not entirely) 100% positive that this is Niko the Baikal seal from Toba Aquarium, Japan.
