I learned recently that many marine mammologists call chubby seals ‘chubmarines’ and my heart is so fluffy (I love chubby seals)

Det finns en naturfotograf som alltid kallar knubbsälar för "chubmarines", som knubbig ubåt, knubbåt.

Nu har namnet tydligen blivit så välkänt så om man googlar det kommer det upp en fin AI-förklaring.

I met one of these chubmarines in March 2024, sleeping in an empty beach the island of Agistri, GR. Just a few months later our friends at @scilifelab-ngi.bsky.social Slacked us that a seal sample would arrive from @biogeneurope.bsky.social. Grateful to have been part of this effort! 🦭🧬🇬🇷 @nbis.se

Sound up for seal noises just about audible above the waves! *This video is zoomed in, we were at a responsible distance from the seals* #chubmarines #seapotatoes #horseygap #horseyseals

I’ve been so confused by this but apparently I follow three different three week old seal pups who are being rehabilitated in 3 different continents. My other social media was just full of these chubmarines
