EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Hooded Seal of Greenland: A Natural Wonder of the Arctic" 2. Description: This image showcases a Bewick Hooded Seal (Cystophoro cristata), a native of the icy waters surrounding Greenland. The seal's most distinctive feature is the fold of skin on its forehead, which it can use to cover its eyes and nose, making it appear as if it is wearing a hood. 3. Historical Significance: This photograph, taken in the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Bewick Hooded Seal. The image is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in the Arctic region and the importance of preserving it for future generations. 4. Native Habitat: The Bewick Hooded Seal is a true Arctic species, found primarily in the waters surrounding Greenland, Canada, and Russia. They are well-adapted to their harsh environment, with thick layers of blubber to keep warm and a streamlined body for efficient swimming. 5. Adaptation: The fold of skin on the seal's forehead, known as a nasal flap, serves a vital function. It helps the seal to breathe through a small hole in the ice while keeping its eyes and nose protected from the frigid water and snow. 6. Conservation: Today, the Bewick Hooded Seal population is considered to be stable, but they still face threats from climate change, pollution, and hunting. Efforts are being made to protect this species and its habitat, ensuring that future generations can marvel at the natural wonders of the Arctic. 7.
