Taxobox Photo

I think we need a better one, this is a shot of an animal in captivity but it's quite zoomed out on the subject itself so that it you can hardly see it in the small taxobox photo. You can only see the top of the seal's head too.. I'll see if there is anything on flickr.. Kotare (talk) 01:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Baikal seals have one unusual foraging habit. In early autumn, before the entire lake freezes over, they migrate to bays and coves and hunt Kessler's sculpin, a fish that lives in silly areas and, as a result, usually contains grit and silt in its digestive system. This grit scours the seals' gastrointestinal tracts and expels parasites.[3] States the current article. I have changed "silly" to "silted" AnnaComnemna (talk) 13:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seal range image

I'm sorry, but the current image for the range of the seal is awful. I think it needs to be remade. Even with context it's very hard to tell what it's illustrating or where in the world it's located. 2607:FEA8:601:EB00:198A:67B2:75CA:DDEE (talk) 00:13, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly wrong age

The current version states this, concerning pups:

“Growth continues until they are 20 to 25 years old.”

This is clearly wrong if they reach sexual maturity at age three to six years. But what I do not know is if it should be “20 to 25 weeks old” or “20 to 25 months old”. Perhaps someone who knows more about the biology can correct this obvious error.

Based on this paper I found this paper I found this growth continuum is correct.
