Just when we thought our moods couldn't be more lifted, yesterday was the international day of the seal! Seals are often described as the "puppies of the sea" due to their playful and curious nature, and their love for social interaction, and we already agree that dogs are the most majestic animals on land, so just imagine how amazing seals are. While they're a perfect balance of cute and cuddly, they're also wicked fighters! They are excellent swimmers, can hold their breath for a long time, and are fierce predators in their natural habitats (so don't mess with the seals!)
For this special occasion, we are taking a break from life's frustrations, and celebrating these ocean majestic creatures, from their whiskers to their hind flippers. And so we collected 15 pictures and memes that got our seal of approval!
Oh my whiskers! International Seal Day is an annual event that aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting seals and their habitats. It also serves as a reminder of the crucial role that seals play in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems which protects us and all our little ocean critters!
So let's give a big "arf arf" for our seal pals and show them some love this week. Actually even better, show them some love every day!
In nature, seals have actually been observed playing with various objects, such as seaweed, bubbles, and even pufferfish. So it's no surprise that when a seal in Japan was given a new stuffed animal it held it close to its heart!
It's absolutely too adorable! Not every day a big fluffy sea dog got its own little fluffy sea dog, can we start giving out all seals a mini seal?
