    There are species of seals who actively keep holes open in the ice to use as breathing holes, allowing them to hunt fish even in frozen-over bodies of water.

    They’re all ocean-dwelling species in the arctic or antarctic oceans, so this isn’t the answer to your specific question, but I just think they’re neat.

      Before reading the “so this isn’t the answer to your specific question, but I just think they’re neat.” My mind went:

      A seal? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within their pond?
