A rare albino brown-furred seal has been rescued
after being rejected by his family and left to fend for himself.

A RARE ginger-furred seal pup was spotted alone on a Russian island
after being shunned by its colony.
The rest of its sleek black family took an instant dislike to the
pup's reddish-brown fur and pale blue eyes, leaving it to fend for
itself.
Photographer Anatoly Strakhov spotted the seal,
which is almost blind, hiding under a pile of logs on Tyuleniy Island.
Mr Strakhov, 61, said:
"He was hiding and waiting for his mother to come and feed him.
"He had a very strange colour fur
and looked different from his two black brothers.
"I was pleased to be able to capture such an unusual animal,
but the poor seal is almost blind and so was unlikely to survive in the wild."
Mr Strakhov was with staff from a dolphinarium
who took the seal pup into their care.

It's like a big reminder of Benjamin,
when all the other Tribes of Israel,
banned marriage with a Benjaminite,
until Benjamin nearly became extinct,
so the rest of The Tribes of Israel,
decided they could take wives for themselves
from the women doing the circle dances...
...not Israelites...not husbands...they'd been
cut off from marriage with the rest of The Tribes
of Israel....

Darwinism
....they had to do all sorts of tricky things like invent the never ending word, "species", to even begin to accommodate that doozie...
....but that does bring us to; "KIND". As Noah's time was during the early
super continent age, he didn't have the vast array of "species", or even
"families" of animals, to save the gene base of, but only the original (since
the last time the whole globe was covered by water), parent kinds of ancient,
long ago extinct animals, that other family types branch off from.
Bears, dogs, same root stock, along with others, of more ancient relatives.
And so on, through all what we've been been taught to accept as "species",
to the relatively few, genetic root stock carriers, of that very ancient age.
New Dolphin Species
Discovered in Big City Harbor
Identified by DNA tests, the new mammals were right under researchers' noses.

Published September 16, 2011
An entirely new species of dolphin has been discovered in Australia, and not in some isolated lagoon but in the shadows of skyscrapers, scientists say.
(Related: "New, 'Chubbier' River Dolphin Species Found in Bolivia.")
One of only three new dolphin species found since the 1800s, the Burrunan
dolphin—naed after an Aboriginal phrase that means "large sea fish of
the porpoise kind"—is known from only two populations so far, both in
the state of Victoria (map).
About a hundred Burrunan dolphins have been found in Port Phillip Bay (map) near Melbourne, Australia's second most populous city. Another 50 are known to frequent the saltwater coastal lakes of the Gippsland region (map), a couple hundred miles or so away.
(Also see "Six Thousand Rare, Large River Dolphins Found in Bangladesh.")
Dolphin DNA Surprise
It's long been known that distinct dolphin populations roam off southeastern
Australia. But now DNA tests have shown that the creatures dolphins are
genetically very different from the two recognized bottlenose dolphin
species, the common bottlenose dolphin and the Indo-Pacific bottlenose.
The results were so surprising that the team initially thought there was a mistake and reran the tests, said study leader Kate Charlton-Robb, a marine biologist at Australia's Monash University.
"The main focus of the research was to figure out which of the two [known] bottlenose species these guys were," she said.
"But from the [DNA] sequences that we got, it turned out that they were
very different from either of the two known species."
The team also examined dolphin skulls, collected and maintained by
Australian museums over the last century, and determined that Burrunan
dolphins have slight cranial differences that set the species apart.
Finally, the animals just plain look different, Charlton-Robb said.
Compared to the other bottlenoses, Burrunan dolphins have a more curved dorsal
fin, a stubbier beak, and a unique "tricoloration"—including dark gray,
mid-gray, and white.
(See a new, snub-fin dolphin species found in New Guineau.)
New Dolphin Nearly Discovered a Century Ago
So how did the dolphins escape researchers' notice for so long?
Physical variations in dolphins in southeastern Australia have been reported for
decades, though the new study is the first to use multiple lines of
evidence to make a strong case for a new species, Charlton-Robb said.
In fact, the Burrunan dolphin was almost discovered in 1915, after a biologist
captured and examined two very different dolphins from Australian waters.
Scientists at the time concluded that both the animals were common bottlenose
dolphins, and that their differences were due to one being male and the other female.
After reviewing the female dolphin's skeleton recently, though,
Charlton-Robb's team determined she was a Burrunan.
Because so few of the new dolphin species are known, the Burrunan research team
has petitioned the Australian government to list the animals as endangered.
"Given the small size of the population," Charlton-Robb said,
"it's really crucial that we make an effort to protect them."

The new dolphin species is formally described online Wednesday in the journal PLoS One.
