🦭Baikal Seal
Baikalinhylje (Pusa sibirica, aik. Phoca sibirica) eli ”Baikalin norppa” on hyljelaji, joka elää ainoastaan Siperian Baikaljärvessä Venäjällä. Kanta on elinvoimainen, sen kooksi arvioidaan 80 000–100 000 yksilöä. Baikalinhylkeet painavat keskimäärin 50 kilogrammaa, enimmillään 150 kiloa. Pituutta on yleensä 1,8 metriä. Ravintona ovat pääasiassa kalat. Poikasia syntyy yleensä yksi, joskus kaksi. Sukellusaika on yleensä 20–25 minuuttia, mutta enimmillään 45–60 minuuttia. Baikalinhylje on saimaannorpan lisäksi toinen hyljelaji, jota esiintyy pelkästään makeassa vedessä. Myös laatokannorppa elää makeassa vedessä, mutta se ei ole oma lajinsa vaan norpan alalaji.
