arctic parcel
After talking a bit with @quaint wing about a suspicion I had about this new card not looking like a Ringed Seal, he successfully identified the image they used for the card as being a Ladoga Ringed Seal, not a Ringed Seal.
So what's the difference? A Ladoga Ringed Seal
(Pusa hispida ladogensis) is a subspecies of the regular Ringed Seal (Pusa hispida) that is exclusively found in a lake in russia. Due to their isolation, they became separated from their Arctic counterpart, and became a subspecies of Ringed Seal.
So naming the card "Ringed Seal" is not entirely wrong, but "Ladoga Ringed Seal" would be more accurate.
I attached a photo of the main species of Ringed Seal, and you can clearly see it's not the same as a Ladoga!
All Ladoga Seals are Ringed Seals, but not all Ringed Seals are Ladogas.
Maybe just change the name or use another photo? Or just keep it like that, It's not a huge deal, I just thought it was an interesting curiosity to point out.
