Biology

Physiology

(From Bulbapedia) Buizel is an orange Pokémon resembling a weasel and a sea otter. It has a yellow collar around its neck that functions as a flotation sac. It has two blue fins on its arms and a tail, which appears to be split, that resembles a fish's fin. There are parallel marks on their cheeks. Additionally, Buizel has cream paw pads on its feet.
