Fig. 5. Series of thermograms of the harp seal Jamie. Thermal windows are numbered
from cranial to caudal and according to order of their appearance. (A)
Arrangement of thermograms recorded after 29 min, 30 min and 32 min. Multiple
thermal windows on the seal's trunk have appeared on the left dorso-lateral
body side, contralateral to the side the seal is lying on. Thermal windows are
solitary and of more or less circular shape; no fusion of thermal windows has
occurred yet. The head (Nos. 1, 2) and the hind flippers (No. 13) show high
surface temperatures as well, while the left fore flipper shows rather low
temperatures. (B) Arrangement of thermograms recorded after 43 min and 45 min.
Thermal windows on the seal's trunk have enlarged and partly fused (Nos. 6, 7
and Nos. 8, 9, 10), and new thermal windows have appeared (Nos. 1416).
(C) Arrangement of thermograms recorded after 62 min and 64 min. Thermal
windows have further enlarged and fused to more or less coherent areas (Nos.
511 and Nos. 12, 13).
