Seals are some pretty adorable creatures. They are also extremely curious and, apparently, surprisingly friendly, which you will soon discover in these three videos of seals committing the most adorable snuggle attacks you may ever see. These three videos were filmed in San Diego, France and Antarctica, respectively and were all posted in the last year.
Vencent Fejeran can certainly attest to the friendliness of seals, or at least to their smaller cousins, sea lions. Earlier this week, Fejeran posted a video he took last spring while fishing off the coast of San Diego. In it, a sea lion crawls into his boat and worms its way into his heart. The video has since went viral, and for good reason. Who can resist the way this furry fellow leans into Fejeran to give kisses and nuzzles?
For almost an hour, Fejeran's little stowaway hangs out with him and refuses to leave. According to Daily Mail, "Eventually, Fejeran says he was able to coax the sea lion back into the waters with food."
In January, a video was posted by Elise Frebourg of a seal in France that locals call, "You." In the video "You" shuffles right up to a Yellow Lab, pats the lucky pup on the head and follows it up with a quick heart-warming snuggle. The dog didn't seem terribly concerned at all and may have even enjoyed it
Once more, Daily Mail shines some light on the subject, telling us exactly how popular the video has become, "Since the video from Le Cap Ferret, in south west France, was uploaded last week, it has already been viewed more than 100,000 times."
Last but not least, in April, a tourist, Charlene Fritz, got a surprise visitor while resting her feet on an Antarctic beach. Weighing in at about 200 pounds, a two-month-old Elephant Seal crawled into Fritz's lap and decided it liked it there quite a bit. Before long, the seal cub was showering Fritz with kisses and nuzzles galore.
The Dodo reports, "Fritz, to her credit, handled the situation like a fine ambassador for humankind - she did not directly touch or approach the pup but rather peacefully accepted the assertive little seal's curious cuddles on his own terms."
