Adorable Tiny Seal Cub Refuses to Return to the Wild

Description

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.

Kroshik the Seal Returns From Wild to Hang With Humans for Second Time

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.

Adorable Newborn Cougar Cub Frolics in the Snow at Novosibirsk Zoo

A cougar cub born at the end of November at Novosibirsk Zoo could be seen adapting to the wildlife park’s snowy conditions with its mother on Wednesday. Welcoming the cub during winter is rare since a female cougar in nature does not normally give birth during the cold winter months. Novosibirsk Zoo has accommodated cougars since 1967.
