Fur seal spends most of its time on the sea where it collects food and sleeps (usually on the back while it floats on the surface of the sea). When it is on the solid ground, fur seal uses its flippers for walking. 💙 . Thanks: 📸 @thurstonphoto

Did you know that mola-mola don’t have scales?! Instead, they are covered in a thick, elastic skin. This skin can be over 7.5 cm thick and is covered in a gelatinous mucosa that protects it 🤔 📷: IG user '@brookepykephotography'
