ADORABLE NEWBORN SEALS PLAY IN SNOW

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 adorable scene was captured in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Canada by Belgian photographer Ellen Cuylaerts. The 44-year-old spent three days with the seals when she visited a breeding site earlier this month.
