very cool seals...
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 !~
Many thanks everyone for the love

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
Thank you Thomas for the love for this glass seal, I am totally grateful to you for your wonderful support though I know how busy you are - always deeply appreciative my friend
