A group of fine art and natural photographers were on an expedition in Antarctica when they settled at Livingston Island to observe a Gentoo penguin colony. They noticed some adult seals on the island…and then they spotted a very brave seal pup who seemed VERY interested in their group. What happened next will make your jaw drop.

That’s right. That baby seal launched a full on snuggle attack. I think it’s important to note that none of the photographers who were privileged by this adorable seal’s company reached out to touch or pet him, though they let him touch them and interact with them, and stay or leave as he wanted.

Is this not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? I don’t know about you guys, but after watching this, I’m definitely booking my first trip to Antarctica!
