Meet Kroshik, a tiny seal cub who was about to be released back into the open waters of Russia's massive Lake Ladoga. Kroshik was found by fishermen near the village of Sviritsa in Russia's Leningrad Region on March 25th and was later placed under the care of vets at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Center. Caretakers were quite surprised about Kroshik's size, he was one of the smallest of his kind ever to have been admitted to the center. An animal welfare organisation called the Friends of Baltic Seals Foundation then tried to release Kroshik, along with another seal cub named Pasha, back into the wild, but were in for a surprise when Kroshik, whose name literally translates to tiny crumb from Russian, touched the water and decided that he would rather stay with his human buddies. It's unclear Kroshik was just too attached to his carers or whether the water was just a bit too chilly that day.
Beach season has started…at least that’s according to this group of adorable seals who have flocked to the Baltic coast in Latvia to bask in the sun.
One Ladoga lake seal pup named Kroshik has developed a real fondness for humans after being rescued when he was young. In fact, he loved the time he spent with humans so much, that he returned back to his tall, fur-less friends for the second time after being released back to the wild. Kroshik was filmed at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Centre, an organization run by the Friends of the Baltic Seal Fund, near Saint Petersburg last weekend.
