Maybe I'm just getting paranoid about it. First time I see their fur unaligned, and the rest of the picture is so smooth…

If not AI I guess it just hopped out of the water and the care giver made their hair before taking the picture.

Seals look smooth but they have fur.

Always forget about this. That the tragedy of seeing the world through internet and mostly picture.

the video i took this frame from was probably re-encoded a few times till it found me...i assume maybe someone upscaled/smoothed it at some point to remove increasing re-encoding artifacts

Oh there is a whole video ? Can you share please, I'm sure everyone love to see them walk around.
