Harp Seal

Harp Seal

The Harp Seal or Saddleback Seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) is a species of earless seal native to the northenmost Atlantic Ocean
and the parts of the Artic Ocean.

The Harp Seal has a silvery-gray body. it's eyes are pure black.
it has black harp or wishbone-shaped marking on the back.
The baby harp seal  (pup)  has a yelloy-white coat at birth, but after three days the

the coat turns white and stays white for about 12 days
. Adult harp seals grow up to be 1.7 to 2.0 m long and weight from 140 to 190 kg

Harp seals combine anatomical and behavioral approaches to managing their body temperatures, instead of elevating their metabolic rate and energy requirements. A thick coat of blubber insulates its body and provides energy when food is scarce or during fasting. Blubber also streamlines its body for more efficient swimming. Brown fat warms blood as it returns from the body surface as well as providing energy, most importantly for just-weaned pups.
Flippers act as heat exchangers, warming or cooling the seal as needed. On ice, the seal can press its fore-flippers to its body and its hind-flippers together to reduce heat loss.

Vision is its critical sense. Its eyes are proportionally large and contain a large spherical lens, improving its focusing ability. Its pupil is mobile to help it adapt to the intense glare of the Arctic ice. Its retina is rod-dominated and backed by a cat-like and reflective tapetum lucidum, enhancing its low light sensitivity. Its rods best sense blue-green, while its cones help with bright light and may provide some color discrimination. Its cornea is constantly tear-covered, to protect it from salt. Lacking tear ducts, it "cries" to remove its tears. On ice, the mother identifies her offspring by smell. This sense may also warn of an approaching predator. Underwater, this seal closes its nostrils and smells nothing. Its whiskers, called vibrissae, lie in horizontal rows on either side of its snout. They may provide a touch sense, and underwater, also respond to low-frequency vibrations, such as movement.

Harp seals prefer to swim in the ocean, spending relatively little time on land. These are extremely social animals and they can be very noisy, as well. They will form large colonies where they spend a great deal of time. Within that loose structure, smaller groups with their own hierarchy are believed to form. Sometimes, these large groups will have to go their separate ways there. Many harp seals are able to live up to 30 years in the wild. After 12 days the mothers abandon their babies. On the ice, pups call their mothers by "bawling" and "mumble" while playing with others. Adults "growl" and "warble" to warn off others. Underwater, adults express themselves with more than 19 call types during courting and mating. But, there is some " controversial" tradition from Canada native people, it called Seal Clubbing, or literally, club a seal/hit a seal with a club. Well i hope those cute seal alright. Global warming is a time bomb for seal life because Global warming can destroy seal original habitat.

Lyrics : 

"All her life she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet's dream for a profit on the street

Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

All his life he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show

'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes

'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

{Power, power, power, power, power}

{Power, power, power, power, power}

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

{Power, power, power, power, power}

{Power, power, power, power, power}

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode, explode, explode, explode

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's a how a superhero learns to fly

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's a how a superhero learns to fly

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

{Power, power, power, power, power}

Oh, yeah...

{Power, power, power, power, power}

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

{Power, power, power, power, power}

{Power, power, power, power, power}

Ooh, yeah
Whoa

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly "

You know why this song become my inspirational song because it tells the fighting of someone who always trying to be the best for someone. In the song, it tells a single father who have a "fictional" job as a normal employee. The truth is, he just a scavengers. It because he didn't want to

disappoint his little girl. Thats a struggle who not every man can handle, only the one who can keep fighting to do that.

The holiday yesterday

The Christmas and New years will be not so great holiday, well it's because I can't go anywhere. You know, traffic jam literally EVERYWHERE. So yeah, I tried to make to some activities.

First thing I do is, fix my laptop. My 5 years ol' laptop is kinda broken. The problem is, the cooling fan system is broken and there was a broken hardware. I can fix the fan, but the hardware, damn I need to go to service center. Thankfully, it's not a serious problem.

Next is, try to cook meal. I like cooking, but I can't cook.  So yeah, it's a great time to learn. I tried to cook a perfect egg, but suddenly it become a scrambled egg, nailed it.

Maybe this is my favorite activities, play games. It's just a perfect thing to do when your laptop/pc is up and running. I play games when I bored. And I always bored, haha.

I wish I can go to somewhere to fill out my next holiday.
