Read somewhere on the forum, that the males have a sort of suit. and the females a dress?alice44 wrote:
If there were a male on shore would I really be able to tell? The females seem very dark when they are wet and then when they dry off a bit you can see that their fur is not so dark and some of them seem pretty big, but maybe when males are there it is easier to tell because of the comparison.

The males have darker, more uniform-coloured fur (like a dark suit); the coat of the females is often spotted / speckled / patterned and with a lighter ground colour, like patterned dress material.Fleur wrote: Read somewhere on the forum, that the males have a sort of suit. and the females a dress?
If they are wet, I can hardly see it.

But true, when they are wet, the difference disappears. As with soggy clothes.
Don't know if a patterned-coated male or a dark-coated female is more usual - because surely both happen, too. Or maybe not - seal experts? Can a male seal have a female seal coat look?

The seals MAY all be young or female which would explain why we cannot really see a difference.
