Description
I had to look twice to believe my eyes. Did I see a swirl in the seals eye?
Typically, the eye is all one shade of dark brown or black, but this young male has a distinct pattern to his eyes, extraordinary.
Elephant seals forage at great depth where it is very dark. They depend upon their amazing vision and the sensitivity of their whiskers to forage. They can see ten times better than a human in the dark, adjust to darkness in the fraction of the time it takes people to and they can see clearly in both air and water.
