Pusa caspica
The Caspian seal is a small seal that lives only in the Caspian Sea. This mammal has short fur and flippers, perfectly adapted to life in water.
The Caspian seal differs from other seals in that it lives only in one closed sea. It is important for the Caspian nature because it regulates fish numbers and serves as an indicator of water purity.
