🦭Caspian seal
Каспийская нерпа, или каспийский тюлень (лат. Pusa caspica), — вид морских млекопитающих из семейства настоящих тюленей. Эндемик Каспийского моря. Зимой, ранней весной и поздней осенью каспийский тюлень мигрирует в северную часть моря, где на льдах образует скопления, щенится и линяет, осенью заходит в устья Волги и Урала, до Волгограда и вверх по течению Урала на 200 км, весной перемещается к югу. Держится стадами. Одним из основных негативных факторов, ведущих к сокращению вида, является загрязнение моря.
