Baikal seals pool (Leipzig)

Germany / Sachsen / Leipzig / Pfaffendorfer Straße, 29
 zoo enclosure / exhibit  Add category

When the lake freezes, the Baikal seal keeps open breathing holes. One of these breathing holes will be extended so that the seal can leave the water through there. On the ice, beneath the thick blanket of snow, it cuts out a cavity in which the young animal is born. They never breed in captivity.
