GIRL THINKS BABY HARBOUR SEAL IS A ROCK
WITH VID
By Dev Yadav
Watch as a woman discovers a beautiful baby harbour seal tucked safely among coastal rocks, patiently waiting for its mother to return from hunting.
Lindsay McGuire, from British Columbia, Canada, captured this peaceful moment while exploring along the shore.
The tiny seal pup, left alone while its mother searched for food, lay quietly in the rocks, its big eyes scanning the area as it waited.
She said: "My daughter and I were paddle boarding along a rock barrier separating White Rock Pier from the open ocean.
"My daughter pointed out that there was a rock moving beside me, and I grabbed a quick video before giving it lots of space.
"I think about this little guy sometimes and hope he made it fine. I never did see a nearby mother. What an amazing, unexpected encounter! Probably my most magical sea creature encounter to date."
Lindsay shared the video online, one viewer commented: "Most likely was off hunting. They leave their young on the shore or on rocks like this to hunt for food and return to them.”
Another added: "How are they so adorable oh my life.”
