    This is a baby harp seal. These little guys are so cute, I once saw a documentary on Discovery of these being clubbed to death for their fur. I was hysterical and couldnt finish watching it. Look at that face? Who could club it to death?

    The furry creature in the photo looks to me to be possible a snow seal of the Artic of Anartica region of the world. The seals were at one time hunted and killed for their very soft fur which was highly prized for ladys' coats, wraps etc. I do believe now they are protected by International law against harming them in any way as they were almost made a extinct species by money greedy garment makers.

    Its a baby harp seal. Its white to help conceal against the snow. As it grows up, the fur sheds and will darken.

    Right, baby harp seal. Once they get a little older they loose the white coat and turn gray/brown like their mothers. The white protects them from being seen by polar bears.

    A tiger you're incredibly valuable, yet of course alluring. you're self sufficient and don't need others to look once you. you discover it annoying to attatch your self to persons. i does not evaluate myself alluring nor valuable yet something sounds like a hundred% actual

    It is a white seal... probably atlantic... being held for tag check or tag placing and is enjoying it... no, wait... being brushed and enjoying it (it would, too)...

    That's all.
