The first step is to determine how much iron is in the adult seals’ diets and how that changes throughout the year.

It's one word consisting of"sea" and"dog". Another Dutch word for seal is rob (pl. robben ), of uncertain etymology, which is primarily used in biological names of different seal species, e.g. ringelrob (ringed seal, Pusa hispida ).

The notary's seal is recorded on one page, usually the last, but persons signing the document may be required to initial beside important points or statements in the document. In Britain and other English-speaking countries, they use a similar system, but notaries tend to be solicitors (lawyers) with additional training.

I can't do better than Myridon except to mention in relation to"pale seal" that a"pale" face is stereotypically regarded as a sign of fear. We have phrases like"turned pale with fear." We also say (well, write) in English that when a person was frightened,"the blood drained from his face," which in the case of Whites would make it lighter in color than usual.
