@drivenbybeauty: Poor @Neil the Seal 🦭 I went down a rabbit hole reading about catastrophic molt in elephant seals, and it got me wondering if part of the reason he seems so grumpy is because the process would be incredibly uncomfortable. I’m not a marine biologist or elephant seal expert, so I can’t say whether Neil is actually itchy, but if I were shedding my hair and my outer layer of skin, I’d probably be pretty cranky too. 😅 I also know elephant seals are naturally very territorial and can be aggressive as part of establishing dominance, so this is just a light-hearted take based on what I was reading. #neiltheseal #neilthesealtiktok #DidYouKnow #skintok #animaltok

Fun facts: Neil comes into land so he doesn’t swim to loose more weight in cold water. He is clever. Go big or go home babe ❤️🦭

He was not 'losing his shit' due to being itchy because he was NOT moulting!! Neil moults in summer.

I love Neil so much! I once had hives on 80% of my body for no apparent reason. I was so ragey I fronted up to the private hospital ED and paid $300 at 3am for them to try to make the itching stop because I was losing my shit. They told me to stop being a princess and go home. Reaaaally ragey after that.

Why does this make me want to give him a scratch? Yes. I KNOW I wouldn't survive the experience, but I get excema, and I understand how amazing a good scratch feels... I wanna make him feel better!
