Trained Seal Catches Rings Around Its Neck
Have you ever seen a seal playing? It is proven that seals are one of the most intelligent animals in the ocean, as they are animals capable of understanding people's behavior and following their instructions, so it is very common to find seals in marine parks and zoos, since these animals They can be very polite and affectionate with the people around them. In addition to being polite, seals can also be very playful, as they like to play with their owners or trainers, seals love to play with rings and balls, so in this case we see how this little seal plays, catch the rings with their trainers. This little seal is adorable!
The seals are adapted to live in the sea. Like other marine mammals such as whales and dolphins, they can dive into the bottom for long periods of time in search of prey, their bodies are optimized to move efficiently in the water and have fat to protect them from the cold. But unlike whales and dolphins, seals spend some time outside the sea. They stop on land (their young would drown if they did otherwise) and change their skin every year on land. Seals can also move on land properly, although not very elegantly.
Most mammals need to maintain a body temperature. The sea is much colder than this and expels heat from a hot body much faster than air. Seals have treated this in several ways. They have a hairy layer that catches the air and uses it as an additional insulating layer. However, when a seal is submerged, the pressure forces the air out of the skin, so this only works when the seal is on the ground or near the surface. Much more important is the layer of fatty tissue under the skin, called fat.
Sometimes the seals are so well insulated from the cold that they overheat. <a href="https://rumble.com/v7w1n3-rotund-seal-bounces-around-enclosure.html" target="_blank">Seals</a> observers occasionally see seals shaking their fins in the air when they leave the ground. This is not a movement of inactivity. The fins have a large supply of peripheral blood that allows heat to escape. The movement of the waves increases heat loss and, therefore, cools the animal. The intelligent inventiveness of the seal often finds other ways to stay cool, looking for the shadow of a rock or a cliff or lying in a puddle of water.
It is a pity that most people only see the seals go awkwardly to the shore. There are moments that compare with the grace and speed of swimming a seal. Whether alone or in a group, the movements of a seal in its true surroundings are like an underwater ballet. You can swim at a speed of 20 knots when you chase your prey, although most of the time you sail less than that. Gray and common seals feed on a variety of prey: fish, shellfish, squid and octopus. They are opportunistic diners, and they will eat whatever is available, including cod, herring, flounder, scorpion, salmon, mackerel, lanzón, shrimp and cucumbers. Their fish diet often puts them in conflict with Scottish <a href="https://rumble.com/v7zt0p-men-in-boat-rescue-monkey-with-life-jacket.html" target="_blank">fishermen</a>.

Seal Pup Performs Super Adorable Trick For Spectators
Do you think the seals are adorable and intelligent animals? Probably yes, since the seals are one of the most intelligent aquatic animals that exist, and in this case we can see how this little seal does everything possible to obtain a delicious fresh fish. Seals are animals capable of understanding people's behavior, and that is why they turn out to be very intelligent and charismatic animals. Seals can play with people to make them laugh, since they like to do fun things like playing with the ball. This little seal could get on a boat to get fresh fish, and it turns out to be a pretty brave seal for its age. This is really amazing!
The seals find the food they need in the surrounding water, so you will only find them where there is plenty of water. Its main sources of food are fish, but they will consume almost any type of meat they can get in the water. Other types of foods they enjoy include squid, octopus and seafood. Sometimes, food sources are low, due to the fishing of large vessels in the same seal hunting waters. The seals do not take the time to chew their food, although they have sharp teeth, when they consume small types of food, they simply swallow them, if they catch something big, they will break them into pieces before swallowing them. They have powerful posterior molars that they use to easily crush their prey and that are small enough to swallow.
Seals do not drink water, they can get all the water they need from the food they eat. When they can't find enough food, their body helps them compensate for the loss, they use the fat in their bodies to produce enough water to survive. It can be dangerous if they are losing too much fat, because this fat helps them maintain body temperature.
The seals are carnivorous. They feed on crustaceans, fish and cephalopods that live on the seabed. Thanks to the layer of fat that covers your body, you can dive deeply to get your food. <a href="https://rumble.com/v4d3mt-penguins-meet-penguin-toy.html" target="_blank">Penguins</a> and small seals are also part of their menu. They catch their prey with their teeth, which are large, and often eat them whole. To hunt they use their sight, their whiskers that are very sensitive and their keen sense of hearing. They hunt very comfortably in the water, even at great depths, where there is total darkness; Outside the aquatic environment, the task is not easy for them.
The gestation period of the <a href="https://rumble.com/v7ig1t-adorable-rescued-sea-lion-pup-begs-for-attention.html" target="_blank">seals</a> is approximately 10 months, after which only one offspring is born. The mother is very dedicated and even aggressive to defend her offspring if an intruder approaches. However, when the baby reaches an appropriate weight, it is abandoned. Seal pups feed exclusively on breast milk during the first 30 days. This milk has a very special protein and young people gain up to 25 kilos during that time. At that time they are ready to begin their independent life and are abandoned.
