Cuddle w/ an Elephant Seal . . . for Real!

I know this is a departure to our normal blog, but we felt compelled to share an amazing video. I don't have any reason to doubt the authenticity of this vid; it seems very real on all accounts. 


We're guessing that a tourist/scientist/conservationist/or all of the above visited the island and cautiously, patiently got the attention of an elephant seal pup. The video captures the pup's delightful response to its new found friend. 


It looks like it was taken on South Georgia Island between South America and Antarctica. Michele and I were thrilled with the 5 minutes or so of footage and had to share.


Click here for, "How to Cuddle with an Elephant Seal" or, in the eyes of the pup, "How to Cuddle with a Human."


Hope you enjoy!
