Footage shows a blind seal swimming around in the sea of Japan, between the Japanese archipelago and Russia. The spotted larga seal appears to suffer from cataracts with severe clouding visible in both eyes. But the seal appears healthy and not especially skinny, suggesting she has no problem finding food without her eyesight. The spotted seal is distinguished by its vivid markings of black irregularly shaped spots, sometimes encircled by a faint ring. It is not clear how long this seal has been in the sea of Japan or how it was made blind.
