When is International Seal Day?

International Seal Day is March 1 year.

Due to overfishing and hunting and seawater pollution, the number of seals is declining sharply. In order to protect seals, a rare animal, the Save the Seals Foundation decided on March 1983 as the International Seal Day every year.

In 2009, EU countries have closed the trade of seal products, but only China has not closed the trade of seal products. The Canadian government has set its sights on China. They once pointed out in the report that people in China eat everything, and they think that people in China are cold enough to accept bloody seal products.

Seal introduction:

Seals (scientific name: Seal) are the general name of the family Pinpoda. The sealing body is thick, round and spindle-shaped. The whole body is covered with short hair, the back is blue-gray, and the abdomen is milky yellow with blue-black spots.

The head is nearly round, the eyes are big and round, there is no outer auricle, the kiss is short and wide, and the upper lip tentacles are long and thick, and they are like beads. All limbs have five toes, and the toes are webbed, forming flippers with pointed claws. The hind flippers are large, extending backward, and the tail is short and flat. Coat color changes with age: the coat color of young animals is darker, while that of adult animals is lighter.

Seals have shorter forelegs than hind feet, and hairy flippers have nails, which are five toes.

Ears become extremely small or degenerate into only two holes, which can be opened and closed freely when swimming. When swimming, most people lean on their hind feet, but they can't bend forward. Their heels have degenerated, unlike sea lions and seals, so they can't walk. So when they move on land, they always drag their heavy hind legs and bend over, leaving lines of twisted marks on the ground.
