      I definitely have BIRDS on the brain. At first glance, I thought it was a lovely little mama swallow with a chick!

      For a second, like HappyHourOwls, I thought this was a bird and chick together too! XD
      Lovely little seal, the colors used on her are so realistic, she is very plump and grey brown as a seal should be, and she's doing the famous banana pose they do when they're happy and content! :)

      Nice to see the happy pair, the momma seems to have the proudest grin on her face, love this colour too, I can pick out details better !~

      Apollo thank you so much for your delightful comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed this seal pair and think they're kinda cool myself

      Lol HappyHourOwls, I can really see the bird comparison in the thumbnail pic, with the swallow brown color and tail that looks like a wing! Great comment & link thank you

      Lauren it is a difficult animal to i.d., some online even call it a walrus lol! Isn't it cute how the baby (or pup I guess it's called) looks like a little papoose on her side. Thank you for your fabulous compliments & I have a couple more KB-Hoff animals coming up, one animal I've never posted before which is always nice, I really hope you'll enjoy them

      You're right Phil, the mom seal does seem to have a proud smile showing off her baby! I have one more on the way of a mom-child pair that I hope you will like, it is an animal found in the Canadian wilderness :) Thank you for your marvelous comment
