An earless
adorable seal at
Okhotsk Tokkari Center in Monbetsu, Hokkaido Japan cheerfully played and hugged
its mini me gift. The seal was hand-reared after a severe injury. However, the
expectation of the staff at the center is to release it back to the ocean with
the rest of the seals soon.
The seal
was overwhelmed with the joy of receiving its ‘mini-me’, thus was unable to
stop kissing, sniffing and hugging it. It squeezed the mini toy to its heart.
Perhaps, it thinks of the toy as its baby. Anyhow, one thing is clear and that
is the overloaded happiness.

The zoo staff gifted an amazing present to this loving
animal at Mombetsu Land, an attraction park in Japan.
Although
this specific seal was hand reared since being rescued from an injury, the
staff of the center expects to send it back to the ocean one day.
“Tokkari”
is the Ainu term for “azarashi”
or the earless seal. So, as the name suggests, the Tokkari center is a
specialized conservation and a sheltering center for the earless seals. The
center allows the visitors to enjoy the glory of the seals as well as to take
close-up shots of them. In addition, the center also provides the conservation
facility while treating the injured earless seals that have been caught in
fishing nets. Actually, the Tokkari center occupies an important grading as the
one and only marine animal conservation facility provider in Japan.
The ‘mini-me’ plush which is just the same as the seal!
The
unbearable cuteness inside the story was well understood by the center thus the
photos were shared on Twitter.
The users agreed to the post and shared them with over 26,000 tweets.
The moment where the seal hugged it and squeezed it to
its heart is extremely emotional. He couldn’t stop riding the toy seal on its
back.
