A photo of this special seal was shared on Reddit and received a lot of attention from netizens.
A post on the Reddit forum a few months ago caught the attention of Internet users. The post with the caption: “Baby albino seal” with a photo of a seal with bright yellow fur that looks like someone who dyed it.
Under the post, Internet users expressed their surprise. Some people say the baby seal looks like an aquatic type Pikachu or some people mistake the animal for a … shrimp.
Everyone has the same feeling that it’s amazing, there is no golden seal. And under the comments section on Reddit, a user with the @ Willem500i account helped people answer questions. This person confirmed that the other seal was not albino, but explained that yellow fur is a common occurrence in seal pups, and sea lion cubs are born prematurely, still have a thin layer of down which is usually yellow. and white on the body. This coat will turn brown after a few weeks.
In fact, it is not the first animal to possess a strange color, different from what is usually known of its species. In nature, there are many cases of animals and insects that are very familiar but for some reason have a unique appearance, sometimes due to genetics.
Below are some examples:
This is a very rare species of Katydid grasshopper with a bright pink appearance, usually only found in the western United States.
This is an albino deer found in Florida, United States.
The brown dove stands out among its flock.
If you think stripes are only available in black or white or a combination of black and white, you are wrong. Proof of this is a unique pink stingray named Inspector Clouseau, after the cartoon character Pink Panther, once found in Australian waters.
Neon green spiders are not visible to everyone.
Big colorful Indian squirrel.
Rare orange fly.
Bowie has two different colored eyes, the result of inheriting a recessive gene from his parents that affects iris pigmentation.
