why do the seals pulls their heads into their body’s?? is it for warmth?? is it just to be cute ??? also. what do their neck bones look like? do they have bones ?!!?! do the bones stretch ?!?!
the ever-adorable Seal Neck Scrunch is a pretty unique feature to seals, but they don’t actually need any special equipment to pull it off!
see, like all mammals, seals have the traditional seven neck vertebrae, but their necks ARE surprisingly long!
but we don’t notice this in practice, because the natural resting position of a seal neck is in sort of an “s” shape:
this makes the seal neck look shorter than it really is, but their RIDICULOUSLY thick layer of blubber smooths their neck into a streamlined shape no matter what position the neck bones are in!
so when a seal has it’s neck “in” and has entered Blob Mode, basically their actual neck is all coiled up in there like a heron’s:
and when the neck is “out”, the seal has just extended it to its actual length:
you can actually see this happening in motion if you know what to look for! THERE’S BONES MOVING IN THERE.
Some people you look at and it’s like you just don’t recognise that face anymore. I mean obviously they still look like them, but they just feel like a total and complete stranger.
