Baby seal figurine

The seal: a master of the oceans and shores

Discover the fascinating life of the seal, an iconic marine mammal, capable of adapting its behaviors to survive both in water and on land. With its unique characteristics, it embodies the beauty and resilience of marine wildlife.

Main features:

• Maturity and reproduction: Males reach sexual maturity between 4 and 7 years of age, while females are ready earlier, between 3 and 6 years of age. Mating usually takes place in the water, but the female gives birth on the shore after a gestation period of 9.5 to 11 months, often delayed by delayed embryo implantation.
• Adapted newborns: At birth, the little ones weigh between 9 and 13 kg and measure approximately 70 to 90 cm. They already know how to swim and free dive a few hours after coming into the world.
• Express breastfeeding: The young seals are breastfed for 3 to 4 weeks before learning to become completely independent in their marine environment.
• Fascinating behavior: With reproduction on land and exceptional skills in water, seals perfectly illustrate the adaptability of marine mammals.

This realistic figurine captures all the sweetness and uniqueness of this marine mammal. Ideal for teaching children about marine life and the unique behaviors of seals, it stimulates their imagination and allows them to recreate captivating scenes between shore and ocean. A perfect educational toy to combine discovery and fun.
