baikal seals, or ladoga seal pls

They're my favourite seal types

i’ve done an info post about ladoga ringed seals so here’s one about baikal seals!

baikal seals (Pusa sibirica) and lake baikal, the lake they exclusively live in, are so cool! lake baikal is the deepest lake in the world coming in at 1,642 meters deep! it’s also one of the oldest, being roughly 30 million years old. like ladoga ringed seals, baikal seals became stuck in the lake after glaciers melted. now they are completely isolated! lake baikal is in siberia, so it’s VERY cold. they use the thick ice on the lake’s surface for protection, females make little dens of ice to protect their young! they can also carve out holes in the ice to breathe. since lake baikal is so deep, they’ve evolved huge eyes that take in a lot of light to see underwater.
