Like I wrote in the previous post, we often find seals hauling out on the icebergs in Paradise Harbour. In this case, we had several Crabeater Seals on different pieces of ice.

Crabeaters do not, as the name would suggest, eat crabs, they just eat krill, just like everybody else. This also explains the red you often see drooling from their mouths. Not blood, as many initially think, but half digested krill. And if it doesn’t come from their mouths, it could appear from another opening in their body, colouring the ice floe completely red.
