Photographers are lucky enough to meet the rare "magic seal", but such human behavior …

A few months ago, a cute little animal appeared in Long Beach, Washington, California. It just swam to the beach and looked around at nothing. Striped seals are often difficult to find, and their living areas are relatively hidden. Its unique black and white stripes make people lucky enough to see it can't help but press the shutter and get excited about this sudden encounter. Let's get to know this magical striped seal through the photographer's lens.

▼ This seal is unique. It is covered with white stripes. It is said that the striped seal was last seen in 20 12, which shows that this little guy is hard to meet.

▼ At present, the number of spotted seals in the world is only 400,000. They mainly live in the North Pacific. With the decreasing number, they have been listed as endangered species by international conservation organizations, so they are very rare.

▼ Seals live in water most of the time. They can only go ashore when they are producing and breastfeeding, and they can only crawl on land. These striped seals only live in the extremely cold Arctic and often give birth in frozen Russian waters.

▼ This cute striped seal has four different stripes, one on the neck, one on the tail and one on the front fins on both sides of the body.

▼ With global warming, the natural habitats of these baby seals are gradually destroyed, resulting in a continuous decrease in the number. They have no fixed place to live, wandering around, and finally come to the inhabited seaside.

▼ These striped seals also have a magical airbag connection organ. Scientists explained that these airbags are used to attract heterosexual mating at the bottom of the sea.

▼ Seals found at the seaside are often considered to be in trouble, which requires professional marine zoologists to help them, help them return to their living areas, and hope that they can survive well.

The appearance of striped seals is really curious, but it is also a question that needs reflection. A creature that once lived in the cold arctic region, but now it can't find a suitable living environment. They can't reproduce their offspring, and they are about to face genocide, which deserves everyone's reflection. The problem of protecting the ecological environment is becoming more and more prominent. Rare species are slowly disappearing, and Antarctic icebergs are also melting. We should also take action for all this. Advocate a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly lifestyle, so that such a cute little seal will never disappear. Do you like this article?
