Their expressions are so different, yet they both look like they could be thinking the exact same thing.

Sea lion: "Dumbass!" DX
Leopard seal: "Dumbass. . ." -_-

I can see a well fed seal leopard in the future.

That looks amazing! I am starting to get into seal preds because of this. Well done!

I do like the "huge long stomach" aquatic preds lately. 83

Huge long stomach preds are my favorite. That is why I like anthro nagas so much.

Do they actually have large stomachs? Probably not front to back but I wonder how much they could actually fit.

No, this is as silly as most same size vore. Even a snake's stomach doesn't occupy its entire body cavity like this one.

I just wondered if you knew to what expense they can stuff their face with prey in real life. But a talking animal story/art with strict limitations would not be fun. It is part of the general amusement and I like how it looks in your art.

Most mammal preds can manage 10-30% of their weight in prey at one time. Foxes have small stomachs (10%) and despite his great size Hialfi can only manage two or three human sized meals at a time. Most of my preds prefer prey about 1/3 their mass. I do like drawing belly beds and Stupid Short Legs pics so I do some same size pics like this one.

But Hialfi looks so adorable when he is full. One reason why I like to use sharks so much is they really can stuff themselves with prey until they look bloated. I have a strange compulsion to stay reasonably close to reality most of the times.

Snakes, some fish and frogs are examples of crritters who can swallow prey their own mass. Some fish can swallow and digest things significantly bigger than they are. Same size vore in other species requires either suspension of disbelief or magic/supertech. Micropreds in particular need several superpowers to swallow, hold and digest large prey. Ria is super stretchy, super tough and pretty much all stomach, all of which is needed to manage the huge meals she takes.

She is a bit over the top for my tastes though I enjoy the thought you put into her and she definitely is a cutie. As probably apparent, Uvuzi is my favourite out of your cast. She too has some incredible abilities but it does not go beyond the usual stretch in fantasy settings. And she is adorable.

Uvuzi is snakeyand so can manage prey her own mass but only if it is the right shape, long and thin. There is a limit to the breadth of prey she can work her jaws over. Nyoka is almost twice her mass and has larger jaws so she routinely takes prey that Uvuzi would struggle to swallow or couldn't manage at all.

I remember one of your ancient pictures where the two gulped their way through a farm where Uvuzi coiled up the farmer and Nyoka had a bulge which went "moo" That would be the usual prey size for them I guess.

Uvuzi usually eats human sized prey but Nyoka routinely eats things in the 500-1000 pound range like cows and horses. And gryphons. She really likes gryphons. Uvuzi ate one once but it was tied up and a lot of work. Nyoka manages the average one easily.

I cannot wait to see/read the two bulging out their fluffy midsections again. Thanks for the fun chat.

Looks like the only place for the second sea lion to go if they get gulped is straight into the rear of the other. Fingers crossed

I wouldn't mind seeing the leopard seal inside the other little sea lion. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Filling out the inside pretty good!
