"The seal, which is almost blind, had been hiding under a pile of logs when he was first spotted"

I am so sad for this seal.

I would adopt him and let him live in the bathtub. He and Benson could be friends. I think he'd like it. Stupid racist seal family.

your mom the burrito (ENBB), Friday, 16 September 2011 00:40 (thirteen years ago)

I have come around on the seal. But I still think he would look cute in sunglasses and a spinner hat

remy bean, Friday, 16 September 2011 00:56 (thirteen years ago)

this is like... a children's book come to life, right down to the creepy watercolor eyes

elmo argonaut, Friday, 16 September 2011 00:56 (thirteen years ago)

i will name him "pinkflaps"

elmo argonaut, Friday, 16 September 2011 00:57 (thirteen years ago)

would play pattycake with all this brown seal

dayo, Friday, 16 September 2011 00:57 (thirteen years ago)

The photographer, 61, said: ‘He was hiding and waiting for his mother to come and feed him.

this is such a heartbreaking detail. moms are the best.

dayo, Friday, 16 September 2011 00:58 (thirteen years ago)

Pinkflaps!!

Wait a second.

your mom the burrito (ENBB), Friday, 16 September 2011 00:58 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah the waiting for his mom to come and feed him killed me. The whole story is total tear porn.

your mom the burrito (ENBB), Friday, 16 September 2011 00:59 (thirteen years ago)

this is the greatest story ever

i love animals

J0rdan S., Friday, 16 September 2011 01:27 (thirteen years ago)

i mean, not that i'm happy that this seal has been abandoned or anything -- my heart weeps, in fact

but really: animals!!

J0rdan S., Friday, 16 September 2011 01:28 (thirteen years ago)

would totally buy that seal a slurpee

markers, Friday, 16 September 2011 01:31 (thirteen years ago)

LOL J0rdan.

OK, enough LOLing, back to weeping and sniffling ;__;

Je55e, Friday, 16 September 2011 19:58 (thirteen years ago)

Vision Kreayshawn Newsun (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 16 September 2011 20:30 (thirteen years ago)

Probably not as racist as they are exasperated by a blind seal.

"up been"?? i've been, how about

goole, Friday, 16 September 2011 20:43 (thirteen years ago)

if this lonely seal found another lonely seal would they be called club lonely seals?

partistan (dayo), Friday, 16 September 2011 20:48 (thirteen years ago)

smdh

(probably)

your mom the burrito (ENBB), Friday, 16 September 2011 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

they would probably be called "two seals that could have hung out had they been able to see each other but instead wandered aimlessly past each other, waiting for moms to bring some more food"

sick yr finger up his butt (DJP), Friday, 16 September 2011 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

damn I am impervious to cute animals today, sorry everyone

sick yr finger up his butt (DJP), Friday, 16 September 2011 20:50 (thirteen years ago)

don't apologize to us dan, it's the seals you've hurt most deeply.

one dis leads to another (ian), Saturday, 17 September 2011 00:34 (thirteen years ago)

why are you all calling it an albino seal

it is clearly a GINGER SEAL

is it shakeymostep? (cozen), Saturday, 17 September 2011 08:15 (thirteen years ago)

He wanted to be one of those white fur seals, but he just couldnt make the cut ;_;

Silent Hedgehogs (Trayce), Saturday, 17 September 2011 08:21 (thirteen years ago)

A bald penguin abandoned by its parents just days after its birth has been accepted back into the family thanks to the efforts of keepers at an aquarium in China's Liaoning Province. The little penguin was born on 17 August and was ill-treated by its parents. A keeper said: "Its parents kicked it out from time to time, or even left it on the icy ground to let it die". Keepers at the aquarium decided that the baby penguin's lack of hair and weak condition was due to difficulties digesting food and absorbing nutrition. Spokeswoman Wang Dan said: "In the beginning we tried to send it back to its parents, hoping they would still take care of it and help it grow stronger, but they neglected it and even kicked it out. We then decided to feed it by ourselves"...

angling after a lucrative retail advertising gig

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 24 December 2014 09:59 (ten years ago)

funniest thing about this story from a local perspective is the number of reports that have not mentioned Newton-le-Willows but just said the seal was found 'near St Helens'
