Comment on Why are there circles of melted snow on this icy pond?

There are species of seals who actively keep holes open in the ice to use as breathing holes, allowing them to hunt fish even in frozen-over bodies of water.
They're all ocean-dwelling species in the arctic or antarctic oceans, so this isn't the answer to your specific question, but I just think they're neat.

Before reading the “so this isn’t the answer to your specific question, but I just think they’re neat.” My mind went:
A seal? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within their pond?
