Information

The Grey, also called Grey, is the largest of the gauchos that can be found in the Baltic Sea, where its numbers are estimated at between 4.7 and 32 thousand individuals!

Growing up-Adult males weigh from 170 to 310 kilograms, while females are slightly lighter and their weight usually ranges from 100 to 190 kilograms. The two sexes can be very easily distinguished from each other. Males have a very wrinkled and massive neck while females on the other hand look more slender and have a smooth skin on their neck.

Appearance-Their coloration varies from individual to individual. The fur can be light gray or dark brown. Mostly males have a uniform, very dark coloration and females on the other hand have spots.

Reproduction-The gestation lasts 11 and a half months and after this time one youngster is born. After birth, the puppy is covered with baby white fur. The birth never takes place in water, it is always on a solid bank or ice.

At birth, the cubs weigh from 11 to 20 kilograms, and about one month after birth, they are able to gain up to 40 kilograms. The reason for this rapid weight gain is the mother's milk, which the young feed on.

The mother's milk contains about 60% of fat, which they mobilize into milk from their reserves. After about 3 weeks the young change their coloration and are no longer white, at which time they become similar to the coloration of older individuals.

When feeding time passes, females abandon their pups, which are on their own now, and as a result begin to hunt.

Trivia

  1. Efficient lungs: Seals' lungs can replace up to 90% of air in seconds, allowing them to stay underwater for long periods of time.
  2. Sensitive mustaches: Seals' whiskers are extremely sensitive and allow them to detect fish movements in the water, which is essential for hunting in the dark.
  3. The way to move: On land, seals move by crawling, using their flippers to push themselves forward.
  4. Thermal insulation: The thick layer of fat under the seals' skin acts as a thermal insulator, protecting them from the water cold.
  5. Eyes: Seals have large eyes adapted to see underwater. Their pupils can dilate and constrict, allowing them to see in different light conditions.
  6. Hunting: Seals mainly hunt fish, but their diet can also include young birds and small marine mammals.
  7. Breathing: Seals can sleep underwater, in which case they breathe through their nostrils. They can hold their breath for about 30 minutes.
  8. Reproduction: Seals give birth on land, on ice or on beaches. The female gives birth to one young, which she feeds with very fatty milk.
  9. Natural enemies: The natural enemies of seals are sharks, orcas and humans.
  10. Communications: Seals communicate using a variety of sounds and visual signals. Some seal species can even "sing" to create complex melodies underwater.
