[b]Source:[/b] [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2037734/The-lonely-seal-wanted-Pup-abandoned-having-rare-brown-fur.html]Linkage[/url] [quote]Sitting all alone on a beach, this little seal is an outcast from the colony. Its crime? Having reddish-brown fur and the palest of blue eyes. The rest of its sleek black family took an instant dislike to the ginger pup, leaving it to fend for itself. The pictures were taken by Anatoly Strakhov, who spotted the seal on Tyuleniy Island, Russia.

I was pleased to be able to capture such an unusual animal, but the poor seal is almost blind and so was unlikely to survive in the wild.’ Luckily, Mr Strakhov was with staff from a dolphinarium who took it into their care. The pup – whose colour is the result of an accumulation of iron in its fur – might have had more luck in the U.S. One of the biggest concentrations of red-haired seals is in San Francisco.

If I was there and had a bunch of resources I would build a big fucking house for the ginger seal that would make all the other seals jealous.

What an ugly as fuck creature.
It's not easy being green. [editline]16th September 2011[/editline] Or ginger
That thing is absolutely downright adorable.
awww
This is good. I'm glad that even animals are taking strides to eliminate the deleterious ginger-gene from their genetic pool.
[QUOTE=Danny Lol;32320118]What an ugly as fuck creature.[/QUOTE] and it will probably think the same if you went to visit it while in care.
Looks like something from another planet. Awesome.
That thing is so odd and cute at the same time. I want one
[QUOTE=Danny Lol;32320118]What an ugly as fuck creature.[/QUOTE] Yeah, being ginger I get that a lot too.
It looks like a cat with flippers
He's so cute... Due to his red fur, especially because of the fact that his is caused by an accumulation of iron, he needs to be called "Rusty".
[QUOTE=Source;32320205]and it will probably think the same if you went to visit it while in care.[/QUOTE] dohohoho, aren't you clever and witty. I wasn't aware wild animals have notions as to what they think of a humans appearance.
[QUOTE=Danny Lol;32321061]dohohoho, aren't you clever and witty. I wasn't aware wild animals have notions as to what they think of a humans appearance.[/QUOTE] Your ugliness surpasses boundaries between the species, but you are still an incredibly kind person and an asset to this online community.
How can you cast aside such an adorable thing.
Anyone got a club?
D'awwwwww look at that cute little thing! :D Also, inb4 sealwithit.jpg
Make a Disney movie about it.
That last picture is just depressing.
