All About
Yo-Chan and her partner Katsunori-Kun are both ringed seals that live happily at the Tokkari Center seal sanctuary in Japan. They are both well known on the internet for their roundness and cute tricks.
Yo-chan is around 14 years old and was rescued as a baby in 2011. She can be identified by her distinct eyebrow markings and diva attitude. She is well known for her famous 'gyu' trick where she squishes her face into her body very cutely. She also hates getting weighed.
Katsunori-Kun is Yo-Chan's husband and was rescued a year after her in 2012. The wrinkles on his forehead make a heart shape wich is very charming. He also makes a very sad face when he wants fish.
Ringed seals live in the northern hemisphere. They prefer cold climates with lots of ice.
Ringed seals like to eat fish, their favourite is cod. They also eat a variety of crustaceans.
Unlike other seals that can require around 10 hours of sleep per day, ringed seals only need 2 hours of sleep.
Ringed seals can hold their breath for up to 45 minutes.
On the night of March 21st Yo-Chan gave birth to a baby girl! Her named hasn't been confirmed yet, but she kind of resembles a panko fried shrimp. Congratulations to Yo-Chan and Katsunori-Kun!
