Caspian Seal

The Caspian Seal (Pusa caspica) is one of the most iconic animals of Iran, exclusively found in the Caspian Sea. As Iran's only native seal species, it plays a crucial role in the region's aquatic ecosystem. This small, endangered marine mammal is known for its thick fur, which helps it survive in cold waters. The species is currently under threat due to habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts in Iran aim to protect the Caspian Seal population, ensuring its survival in the wild. These seals are known for their playful behavior and agile swimming abilities. The Caspian Sea serves as their primary habitat, where they hunt for fish and rest on floating ice. Iranian wildlife authorities are actively involved in their conservation to prevent further decline. Caspian Seals are essential for maintaining the ecological balance of the Caspian Sea. Protecting this species is critical for preserving Iran's unique marine biodiversity.
