Little Tuq the harbor seal has come such a long way in his journey! 💙
This harbor seal pup was in bad shape when he arrived to the Alaska SeaLife Center as a patient in our Wildlife Response Program this past summer.
Tuq had significant neurological damage that we weren’t sure he’d make it through. After many months of expert care from the wildlife response team, this cute little guy pulled through. We found out he was not a release candidate due to neurological issues that cause his head to wobble, but he’s having a blast with his new seal buds here at the Alaska SeaLife Center! He’ll continue to receive the special care he needs here at the Center.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://kaitigrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/242363204_10158151786751471_5939488037647467551_n.jpeg</image:loc><image:title>242363204_10158151786751471_5939488037647467551_n</image:title><image:caption>2022 Honorable Mentions - Association of Zoos and Aquariums photo contest 

Fun Fact! Octopus eyes have only one kind of photoreceptor, implying that they can only see in black and white. But octopus have brilliantly colored skin and are masters of camouflage, which leads scientists to believe that they may not be colorblind.

Some scientists believe these creatures can also see with their skin and others believe that their U-shaped pupils allow them to use chromatic aberration to interpret color. There's so much to learn about this incredible animal!</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://kaitigrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/11999615_10207695811097211_2989517347301415276_o.jpg</image:loc><image:title>11999615_10207695811097211_2989517347301415276_o</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://kaitigrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/img_8259.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_8259</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2026-04-26T22:52:25+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.6</priority></url><url><loc>https://kaitigrant.com/videos/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://kaitigrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/videos.jpg</image:loc><image:title>VIDEOS</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2026-04-26T22:50:31+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.6</priority></url><url><loc>https://kaitigrant.com/photography-2/</loc><lastmod>2026-04-26T21:45:22+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.6</priority></url><url><loc>https://kaitigrant.com/portfolio-2/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://kaitigrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/edit1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>edit1</image:title><image:caption>MSU sophmore running back Gerald Holmes slips aways from CMU junior defensive back Tony Anneset on September 26, 2015 in Spartan Stadium.

This illustration shows a naturally beautiful woman who has been purposefully manipulated in photoshop to show that although we have the technology to enhance already beautiful women and men, doesn’t necessarily mean we should.

Nyctophobia, or an extreme fear of the dark, can paralyze children and adults to the point of being immobile in darkness, even with in their own houses. What the exact fear is can be hard to pinpoint when the fear itself can’t be seen, possibly the fear of intruding burglars or of the paranormal. October 26, 2014.

This topic of animal testing has been an incredibly popular one both currently and in the years past. Just in the past years an incredibly graphic project in a London “Lush” storefront protested the cause by putting a volunteer through similar acts that were performed on animals in cosmetic testing on display for all to see. Protests like these have been making changes. In just 2 years, from 2010 to 2012, the number of animals used in laboratory testing has reduced 16%.

The technology is so incredible, so advanced, that some photoshopped images can’t be processed as being something that doesn’t exist in real life. The reality is that many images that we look up to and set as our beauty standards aren’t actually people that exist in real life.

The World Health Organization defines genetically modified organisms as organisms in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, including between nonrelated species. Some developed nations consider GMO’s to be unsafe and have restricted or banned the distribution of them. In the United States the regulations have been kept at bay, making grocery that the general public buys a mystery to if it is a GMO or not. Some sources estimate that up to 80% of American produce is a GMO. This has made the topic a popular controversy with the American public.
