Photographer @aiko.sukdolak shares this tender shot of this seal pup on a beach in Heligoland, Germany.
Did you know that seals don't chew their food?
To make their hunt more efficient, seals swallow their food or cut it into small pieces that they can devour in one sitting. This is not because they lack teeth, but because it allows them to eat more quickly so that they have the opportunity to hunt other prey.

Aerial view over the mountain valley in Uruguru, Tanzania.
The lush forests of the Uluguru Mountains support an incredibly high level of biodiversity. Here, the drier lowland coastal forests transition to rainforests, then to sub-montane, montane, and upper montane forests as elevation increases.
The mongoose lemur is endemic to the northwestern forests of the island of Madagascar. Much of their habitat consists of dry deciduous forests, fragmented forests, and scrublands.
Frugivorous and folivorous, mongoose lemurs consume fruit, leaves, flowers, nectar, and pollen.
