Napping Seal Pup of the Day: After barging in uninvited, a baby fur seal decided to curl up on the couch of a woman in Tauranga, New Zealand, and take a nap.
Annette Swoffer said she saw the cute critter “hanging out” with her cats and quickly called a friend to come over and make sure she “wasn’t having a stroke or something.”
After the friend confirmed there was in fact a seal pup sleeping on her couch, Swoffer phoned the SPCA, who rang the Department of Conservation, who were apparently already in hot pursuit of a seal sighted in the area.
The pup was eventually removed by biodiversity programme manager Chris Clark, and returned to the sea. Though they may look “Very cuddly,” Clark stressed that seals are still wild animals, and sightings should be reported to animal control.
As for Swoffer, she’s “just waiting to see if it comes flopping back up the driveway.”
Video of the adorable animal being adorable below:
