from Sini

Sini sent us a Saimaa Ringed Seal!
in Finnsch: saimaannorppa

This is what Sini wrote on the backside of  the card:

They’re among the most endagered seals in the world. Total population is only about 270 individuals. The only existing population of these seals is found in Lake Saimaa, Finland. The population is descended from Ringed seals that were seperated from the rest when the land rose after the last ice age.

For the post/mail related tag got this card from Paula.  I agree with Paula, she wrote on the backside of this card ’Something common with postcrossers’.
