Guadalupe fur seal (L) – the Guadalupe fur seal's big "Only God can kill me" energy saw it advance in Round 0.5 with a whopping 74.6% of the vote. For details about the species, see that post.

New Zealand fur seal (R) – this otariid's name is apparently contested between the settler-colonialist nations of New Zealand and Australia, so let me just say that its scientific name is Arctocephalus forsteri and its te reo Maori name is kekeno. They live on the South Island of New Zealand and the southwestern coast of Australia. At one breeding site in New Zealand, mother fur seals will leave their pups upstream at a waterfall where they can safely swim (away from predators and strong currents) while the mothers hunt!

Today I learned that there are seals that live in the Yarra River. I had just walked from Southern Cross Station down to the river walk, on my way to work. It was very early in the morning, and the nap I had had on the bus left me a little less alert than I perhaps should have been. Despite this lack of alertness, from the owner of my eye I noticed something splashing in the river. That looks…

During the breeding season, females of each of these species aggregate into groups among which a smaller number of males are distributed.

In all three of these eared seals, significant proportions of the population do not breed.

what are the different kinds of seals im curious

There are many different ways to categorize seals/pinnipeds, but we'll be focusing on the most integral to Seal Gameplay.

There are three families in your cast of playable characters: earless or "true" seals, eared seals, and walrus. These are then further split up in subfamilies, tribes, and genera. I'll sum up a brief overview of each subfamily's character class and the species within.

Phocinae: DEFENSIVE SUPPORT

These are the most common earlygame party members, and their support for the DPS can make or break a playthrough. You start the game with a Harbor seal along with your first party member, it needs no introduction. Some of these also splinter off into healing as well, but the Baikal seal also has an offensive supporter edge to it as its massive Perception stat lets it easily expose enemies' weak points and lower defenses. The Ringed and Ribbon seals are also very popular picks, they're simple but very effective at raising stats (ringed raises speed, ribbon attack)

Monachinae: DPS / ATTACKER

The bread and butter of any pinniped party. There's not much i can say about DPS seals, they do big damage! The most popular of these, of course, is the Leopard seal: It's a late-game add, but very worthwhile as it has the highest base attack stat, with good HP. Elephant seals are also a popular pick and synergize well with many fur seal species. Monk seals also have some support qualities, but it seems they're not used that often.

Otariinae: HEALING

Sea lions tend to range on a spectrum of focuses on either all-in-one healing or over-time healing. It's not as picked, but i often use an Australian sea lion in my party compositions for the over time healing, since it works really well with Spotted seals' shielding and DEF mechanics (walruses as well). Overall though, a Steller sea lion can work with mostly any party due to its simplicity.

Arctocephalinae: OFFENSIVE SUPPORT

You wouldn't believe just how much offensive status effects a fur seal can have up its theoretical sleeve. There are many subcategories under this character class such as focus on STUNs, enemy vulnerabilities, DMG over time, etc. Guadalupe fur seals especially are a hot topic: a lot of newbies tend to get intimidated by their risky and RNG-reliant strategies, but the more i've used them the more i can say they can absolutely be worth the risk.

Walruses: TANKING

Walruses are the only species in the Odobenidae family, so if you want a reliable tank there's just one pick. For what it's worth i don't really use tanks but i can definitely see the appeal in their shielding and DEF stats. They're also the only species that can redirect damage from an ally onto them.

Hope this helps!

#If you were talking about stuff like taxonomy wikipedia has a lot of info on that!! E.G. the cladogram on the main page for pinnipeds #I just wanted to do a funny cause ive been doing a lot of RPG stuff lately #not daily #asks #mod ribbon

My Animal Studies instructor is a zookeeper, he brought in some skulls for us to study which was pretty neat!

I tried my hand at drawing a baby Australian Fur Seal skull, I only had an office pen on me but I kinda like these?

Also I learned that seals have three-pronged teeth. Bones are so cool man.

#I’ve been told I’m not allowed to share photos of the bones unfortunately but they’re SO COOL IN PERSON. #I am deadass not kidding when I say they literally brought a GIRAFFE SKULL IN. it was heavy. And old. #My art #animal bones #skulls #vulture culture #Zoology #animal art #skull art

[mamadarama]

Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.

Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue

Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull

Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it

I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)

Tori is a munchkin

OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)

(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)

gonna put this under a readmore cuz its ...... a lot (i woulda added pics too but theres definitely way more than 10 cats here)

Brown fur seal (L) – also called the Cape fur seal, South African fur seal, or Australian fur seal this otariid lives on the southern coast of Australia and on the southern and southwestern coast of Africa. Described as "the largest and most robust" fur seal, these big bois (and girls) have been observed attacking and killing sharks. They prefer to live on rocky beaches, and like many pinnipeds the pups have a unique cry that lets their mothers find them even on a crowded breeding site.

Galapagos fur seal (R) – native to the Galapagos Islands (need I say?), the Galapagos fur seal is the smallest otariid and has the least sexual dimorphism of all the fur seals. They also have the lowest reproductive rate, nursing their pups for up to three years. Some Galapagos fur seal mothers even nurse two pups at a time! Despite having been legally protected in Ecuador since 1934, they are listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
