Description

The Baikal seal lives only in Russa’s Lake Baikal and stands as the world’s only exclusive freshwater seal. These animals hunt as carnivores because they primarily eat the golomyanka and other fish with no commercial value.
They mostly live as solitary creatures, yet many seals will gather together to share breathing holes in the thick winter ice.
Hunters targeted the species heavily during the 1930s for their meat, oil and fur, so the total population dropped quickly. The government restricts harvesting today, which helps the current population stay stable and healthy.

Bianca, the Baikal seal skull replica, needed a new job. Her big dream is to open a bikini shop. So, she slipped off the ice, got her swimsuit on, and started sewing.
Glacier, the harp seal replica, came over and saw the kaos. She harped on Bianca to get her to let her organize the mess. She put all the bikinis on a table, sorted by size and colors. She also vacuumed the floors.
Banda, the ribbon seal skull replica, packaged up the bikinis in colorful plastic bags that have a hanger on the top of the bag. She decorated each bag with beautiful, shiny ribbons.
Creston, the hooded seal skull replica, cooked fish stew for everyone, as he knew with all their hard work, they had to be getting hungry.
On the opening day they earned one million dollars.

| International Seal Day - March 22nd | Every year on March 22nd, the International Day of the Seal promotes the conservation of seals worldwide. It’s also a day to celebrate this amazing marine mammal. A seal is a type of animal called a pinniped, which is Latin for “fin-footed.” Other pinnipeds include the walrus and sea lion. What makes seals different than other pinnipeds is that they don’t really use their flippers to walk. When on land, they usually slide around on their bellies. In the water, their flippers help them swim really fast. Seals are also much quieter and smaller than their sea lion and walrus cousins. |
