Crabeater Seal by Ghirin

Crabeater Seal by Ghirin

The crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus) is one of the most common large mammals in Antartica.

It is known for its complicated tooth pattern which forms an interlocking sieve for filtering krill.

Crabeater seals usually haul out on the pack ice, but have also been known to travel inland.
