🦭Caspian seal
카스피해물범(Pusa caspica)은 물범중 가장 작은 종에 속하며, 카스피해에만 서식한다. 해안선뿐만 아니라 호안의 암초에도 발견되며, 유빙에도 서식한다. 겨울등 추운 계절에는 북쪽으로 이동하며, 얼음이 녹기 시작하면 볼가강이나 우랄강 하구, 남쪽지역에서도 발견될 수도 있다. 이들이 카스피해에 고립되어 있는 이유는 분명하지 않다. 어떠한 가설에 의하면 빙하호가 많아질 시기에 이동해 왔다고 한다. 바이칼물범처럼 고리무늬물범과 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 알려진다. 등 쪽은 노르스름한 짙은 회색이고 배 쪽은 밝은 회색을 띈다.
