  • The two-month-old baby seal came up for a hug on Antarctic Peninsula
  • Despite being a pup, the seal is believed to have weighed 200lbs
  • Adorable cuddle caught on camera by Canadian tourists

This is the moment when a not-so-little baby elephant seal emerged from the sea to give a surprised tourist one big cuddle. 

Charlene Fritz, 35, was visiting Snow Hill Island in the Antarctic Peninsula as part of an expedition when she made an unusual friend on the beach.

Despite being no more than two months old, the elephant seal pup is still thought to have weighed around 200lbs, and Ms Fritz had a struggle sitting upright. 

One big cuddle: The elephant seal is thought to have been no more than two months old, but at a whopping 200lbs, Canadian tourist Charlene Fritz still struggled to reciprocate the hug

Charlene, from Saskatchewan, Canada, said: 'The seal climbed on top of me without hesitation. We shared a very sweet moment in time I will never forget.

'Her mouth was all pink inside and her eyes were amazing to look into. Like the deepest depths of the sea. I could have stared into her eyes forever.'

She added: 'It was made very clear to me that I was in no way allowed to touch her with my hands or approach her.

'She came to me from across the beach and made all of the decisions to cuddle up. I wanted to hug her so badly.

'Physically she felt like a big dough ball, super warm and like she had no bones. She did not smell of fish or have bad breath. She had never even eaten a fish at that point in her life.

Rules: Ms Fritz explains that she badly wanted to hug the baby seal, but that regulations on the Antarctic expedition dictated that she in no way touch the pup

Charlene, whose 2011 encounter with the seal was filmed by a friend, had at first wondered why the seal was so friendly but later learned about the harsh weaning process.

She said: 'Basically the mother fattens them up with her milk for a month or so, then abandons them on the beach.

'They have never been in the ocean to learn to fish or anything and basically lay there starving until they figure out to take the leap of faith and go into the sea.

'This is why they can be so sweet and looking for love, I guess.'

However, an encounter with a full-grown elephant would have been a different prospect.

Males of the species can weigh up to two tonnes and are known to have a nasty temper during mating season as the battle to control harems of females.

  • Another good incident which shows that seals love to interact with humans @ http://youtu.be/1uH6DSJ7CKg
  • Here is another incident when a baby seal comes inside a boat @ http://youtu.be/mjqQ_i0GjfI

  •  This is not the first time that an elephant seal has come onShore to kiss and cuddle humans but has happened quiet often and great to see as it's breaking the barrier and uniting living entities

    • In the beginning that's how it was we all lived together peacefully and were even able to communicate.  This goes to show even the animals want that back

  • I'm in love I don't know if I could have contained myself I would have rolled all over the ground with them hugging petting I'd probably still be there lol

  • LOVELY JUBBLY ...sure makes your Day
