I have no idea what this is supposed to be about, so I’m going to lock it.

**FloatyGimpy** PMed me to suggest that the point was “this is so sweet it will give you diabetes.” Good enough, I’ll reopen.

That fuzzy little blubburrito is indeed the pinnacle of polar cute. It might be outdone by a troupe of gallivanting penguins, but there’d have to be a lot of them.

Sigh. 45 second video of a baby harp seal cry for its mommy and struggling to get over a drift of ice. Mommy doesn’t show up but it finally makes it to the top of the drift.
No clubbing, just crying seals.

The seal replies “Anything but a Canadian Club”

I’ve seen leaking seals, and weeping seals, but I ain’t never seen no crying seal.

No! I ate ice cream right before that photo. How many times do I have to deny it.

Got it, I thought the video spoke for itself. If not, the OP is [this is adorable](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwM92P8aT64&feature=player_embedded)

Yes, but some of us are reluctant to follow every link off the SDMB to a video, article, photo, etc. without some clue as to what’s being linked to. For one thing, there’s not enough hours in the day. Saying a video speaks for itself isn’t enough. Give us a hint as to what you’re linking to and why.

Oh dear god the teeth! (That yawn always surprises me.)
I’m a fan of [Stalking Cat](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEmEN8PFsgI).
