Baby Seal Enters House and Naps on Couch

Awww.

This has got to be one of the most adorable news stories ever!!! Lucky, you are an angel!

I would’ve totally kept this kid!

He doesn’t have his MAMA! You can’t keep DUMPING him back into the ocean!

Looks like he wants to be an inside Seal, smart isn’t he. He looks so comfy and so at home lying there, aaawwwwhh.

This is to cute. Maybe someone need to adopt him…

“this is so adorable…one smart pup…maybe he has a message”

Maybe he was a dog in another life? :)

so unbelievably beautiful! What a treasure he is…..

Eventhough this story is very cute, it seems staged to me, how did this poor thing get UP on the couch????

this is the most lovable thing! :) I’m just afraid if s/he comes back from the sea, that s/he gets hurt, god forbid, somehow. :( I hope that Department of Conservation takes measures for that not to happen :)

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have been tsunamid by loooove!

He is the epitome of CUTENESS !

Lucky is trying to tell you something. I do not live in this area and know nothing about seals, but animals are instinctive and know how to survive.

Why is a lamp propping up the pillow? hm.

Warren – I live near the Wekiva area, in Altamonte Springs, and I must say… I’ve never seen anything “odder”!

I’ll be on the lookout for otters and seals and other sea creatures, oh my! Apparently sightings are more common than one might think…

What is under the pillow in the second and third picture? It looks like a computer lamp. He is really cute and in need of a home if this is real. If not please leave the seal alone and let it do what seals do…

And on top of the lamp being under the pillow in the second and third picture, not to mention how the poor thing got up on the couch, where is the dog and why was the dog ok with a strange animal in its house? (Owner said the seal came in through the dog door)

This is why I always keep a club near the couch..

This is total BS. A 12 inch baby seal makes its way on to a 24″ inch couch by itself? Sorry, but gravity applies to cute baby seals too. This seal may have been found in the house, but it was not found on the couch. This seal was placed on the couch by a person.

“Heidi Klum” that was soooo funny, too. That seal is really bringing out the best in people. Either shear adoration or such funny remarks.

this is the good kind of home invasion

Okay, who thinks most animals (water and land) should have a social security #, raise your hand?
Yep! me too. Now I jsut saw “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” where the terrior? was trained to tap the bell at the door with his or her paw when needing to go outside; Ithe trainers in San Diego, CA have trained Shamoo to dance a jig, here’s Lucky, and these stories go on and on. The most adorable, smart as humans ……… or smarter ????

right!

Better get some diapers on the little guy.
He’s cute now but what about when he takes up half the couch and sits there begging for fish all day? And he’ll probably need braces for his teeth or something. Do seals get fish breath?

So if the person that found the seal on their couch and gave it a great big smooch, would you call it “Sealed with a kiss?

Just let her keep him, he’s obviously very comfortable!

seal should be charged for break and entry
hold it in police custody

Just think he must have been raised by someone, and then dumped in the water.
He returns too often and seems to know the routine, put this guy in a zoo with a couch.
Or the zoo office, petting zoo, something, he clearly doesn’t want to be wild.

They’re good eating when they’re that size! JK

this is too cute

awfully cute! can’t stop looking at the pics… want to pick up the little thing and cuddle!

we need more good news , heart touching moments ! this is good news!

I want one how much do they cost I will buy one starting out at $550

It wants to be an inside seal! Apparently it must love people :)

What a sweetie.

Good thing this wasn’t in Canada. They would’ve beat the hell out of it with clubs while it was sleeping.

Please, Mom, can I keep it?

Just in case you were wondering, that is a sea lion, not a seal. The ear flaps give it away.

He donesn’t want to go into the water. Can’t you people see that? He is not of the sea for some reason maybe a genetic change but this seal is more like a cat of which I have 5. Let him stay in someones home or at least have a heart and put him in a zoo that is warm and has a warm coach.

he knows whats up! lol

Don’t be so silly! Of course seals & sea lions can climb up on things. If that pup is old enough to swim on his own, to get to land in the first place, then he/ she is old enough to climb up on the large rocks that stick out of the water, near the shore lines. Believe me, conquering that couch was much easier for Lucky than climbing up on those rocks ever was! When a seal or sea lion colony can’t find any peace & quiet, or privacy on a beach anywhere, they use groupings of large rocks to rest upon, groom, find mates, & feed their young. I’ve heard that many baby seals & sea lions die because of getting washed off of, or blown off of the rocks by storms & large waves, before they are big enough to swim on their own. He’s probably lost his family/ pod whatever you want to call it. If that’s the case, I don’t blame him/ her for wanting to come into the “human world”. After all, I’m sure the ocean’s a very scary place when you’re little, lost and alone. Every time they toss that poor little creature back out, into the sea, he’s probably thinking, “Hey! But, there are sharks out here!” (Not to mention a lot of other nasty things you wouldn’t want to run into). If he/ she’s smart enough to figure out that one might be able to rest inside a human’s house in relative safety, then I’m sure the traffic wasn’t that much of a challenge to Lucky. That little seal knows exactly what he/ she wants. Why not let him/ her have it? Put that cute little critter in a zoo & see if another seal family there will adopt him/ her. If not, then give Lucky his/ her own enclosure (with a waterproofed couch of course) & lots of TLC. :-)

real question here is whats out there in the water to keep him from staying there???

C’mon, everyone email the Australia Zoo, Attn Mrs Steve Irwin, and see if she’ll intervene for a lil’ seal pup that’s shown such grit and determination to survive. Can’t hurt!

Looks like a Christmas Seal. :-)

There’s nothing in the article saying he made it to the couch by himself. It says he made it in the cat door. At that point, they probably returned home, found a baby seal. Threw up a bit of cute-induced vomit, then put it on the couch while they called the dept of animal conservation.

“Who wants to rub me flippers? Oh, and find the remote for me, would you?”

Sounds like Lucky’s on a couch tour, and intent upon sofa surfing.
It would be ideal if Lucky could find a house with a swimming pool.
Good luck Lucky!

“i wanna be.. where the people are..
i wanna see.. wanna see ‘em dancin..
strollin along down the.. what’s that word again?
streeet
up where they walk.. up where they run
up where they stay all day in the sun
wanderin’ free..
wish i could be..
part of that world….”

Welcome to Obama’s America. :P

Dear little seal,

Swim halfway around the world to chez moi so we can cuddle, s.v.p.

Thanks

Actually the person did right in calling in the SPCA and the Dept of Conservation. Not a good idea to touch a seal, they can inflict a nasty bite and also you’d be breaking so many federal laws its not funny. Sometimes they can be really tame though. One let me walk right up and take his picture. I wanted to take him home with me but i didnt.

i love this seal, i wish i could have one!! there is too many bad people out there that want to kill it-that is not right!!!

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love seals they are so adorable. I would probably try to keep it. Tanya Monique Glascoe
