WITH THEIR adorable big round eyes and fluffy white fur, these baby seals are cute enough to melt any heart. The harp seals, aged between two and ten-days-old, roll around in the snow and explore their new surroundings.

The 44-year-old spent three days with the seals when she visited a breeding site earlier this month.
