Seals and Sea Urchin Greetings Card by Rachel Hudson

£3.50

The Seals and Sea Urchin Greetings Card by Rachel Hudsonshows grey seals swimming and basking in and around rock pools, with a splendid, delicate pink sea urchin in the foreground.

Grey seals spend most of their time out at sea and may range widely in search of prey.  Half of the world’s population of grey seals are found around UK coasts.  The fluffy white pups are born between September and December.  The grey seal is distinguised from the common seal by its larger size and longer head, with a sloping “Roman nose” profile.

The pink sea urchin in this illustration is the Edible Sea Urchin and that shell (or teste to give it its proper name) can be as big as 15cm in diameter).  Its tube-like feet help them move around rocks and stop them from being washed away.

Seahorse Greetings Card by Ben Rothery

£2.85

Seahorse Greetings Card by Ben Rothery

This card features an exquisite painting of a Seahorse by wildlife illustrator and author Ben Rothery against a dark backdrop.  Ben’s work is inspired by nature and by traditional natural history illustration but presented with a contemporary twist.

Ben’s illustration shows a Yellow Seahorse, native to the coasts of China and Australia.  The British Isles are home to two species of Seahorse – the Spiny Seahorse and the Short-snouted Seahorse.  These tiny marine creates are fascinating – they pair for life, they change colour when they approach each other and in order to disguise themselves.  The female transfers eggs to the male, who self-fertilises them, carries them as they grow and gives birth to them!
