This little seal weighs about 6-7 kilograms, covered in white fluff, and can only move across the shallows by wriggling with its forelimbs and upper body, its belly covered in mud, quite clumsy and adorable. Comparing its features online, the staff discovered that this fluffy little guy is actually a juvenile spotted seal, also known as 'white seal' due to its white fetal fur.
