In her 2012 memoir, creative director of Vogue Grace Coddington regarded Patitz as one of the original supermodels and a must in photographs and on the catwalk.
Harper’s Bazaar wrote, “Indeed, Patitz’s features almost confuse.
Like Garbo or the Mona Lisa, the inexplicable gifts of line and luminescence defy definition.”
ogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour stated that Patitz had always been one of her favourite models.
Tatjana Patitz’s work bridged the eras of the exhibitionist 1980s and the minimalist 1990s in an enduring way

The Crabeater Seal, which can be spotted on an Antarctic cruise, boasts the largest population of all the seal species.
Estimates put their numbers at between 2 and 75 million. individuals, worldwide. As cute and friendly as they may look, seals can actually be fervently territorial and quite aggressive.

Some seals can dive up to 900m in-depth and some can hold their breath underwater for up to 2 hours!
A seal mum’s milk can be up to 50% fat, and pups can put on 2kgs a DAY.
Seals have been hunted throughout history, with their fat and fur being highly coveted. Although a great majority of species are not endangered seals are still a highly protected mammal in most parts of the world.
Over the last century, various species have gone extinct, including the Caribbean Monk Seal and Japanese Sea Lion.
In Antarctic waters, there is a restricted amount of seal harvesting still being allowed.
The main species hunted are Crabeater, Leopard, and Weddell seals.
In Gisborne, New Zealand, a resident elephant seal, named Homer, had an infamous reputation for hooliganism. He used to routinely overturn parked cars in town and once even knocked over a restaurant’s power supply box. Experts believed that Homer’s energetic ‘rubbings’ were actually ever-so-slightly misguided sexual advances.
Seals boast a gestation period of about 11 months.
The longest pregnancy though is in the pinniped family belongs to the walrus, which is pregnant for about 16 months.
Mother and baby seals recognize each other through a familiar call, with a study in Alaska finding that mum-bub recognition was possible even after a 4-year long separation.
A study in the Falkland islands proved that alpha-male Elephant Seals are quite the possessive Don Juans. In one colony alone, over 92% of pups born at any given time were fathered by the group’s alpha-male alone and up to 72% of all other males in the colony, had NEVER been observed mating at all.

Whale watching is a popular tourist pastime, in which groups are taken onto the ocean in a large boat to witness the mammals’ behavior and antics.
Whales feature heavily in religion and mythology. The most famous is Jonas who was eaten by a whale.
Moby Dick (from the novel of the same name) and Monstro (from Pinocchio) are the most feared whales of fiction.
There are many famous films depicting whales, including Big Miracle, the Free W***y franchise, Moby Dick, Pinocchio, and Whale Rider.
