Este é, na verdade, o momento em que um filhote de elefante marinho bochechudo posou a apenas 30 centímetros da fotógrafa Inger Vandyke sua câmera
.

Você já viu uma foca tirar uma selfie assim? E com as sobrancelhas tão perfeitas?

"Antes disso, eu tive experiência em várias viagens com lobos marinhos, então a princípio eu estava um pouco assustada com o elefante marinho se aproximando de mim. Logo eu descobri que eles são inofensivos e que a foca da selfie provavelmente estava curiosa e só queria se aquecer ficando perto de mim", Vandyke disse ao BuzzFeed News.


Vandyke tirou a foto em Sandy Beach, Ilha Macquarie – um dos territórios subantárticos da Austrália. Este foi seu primeiro encontro com um elefante-marinho.

"Quando este bebê foca se aproximou de mim, meu medo inicial foi embora muito rápido quando o guia perto de mim disse que estava tudo bem. A foca, então, se esfregou suavemente em mim como se fosse um gato querendo atenção. Foi um encontro incrível, um que eu queria que nunca terminasse."

Os elefantes marinhos são as maiores focas do mundo, e as que mergulham mais fundo. Eles têm enormes olhos que os ajudam a enxergar em profundidades de 1500 metros ou mais dentro do oceano, quando eles mergulham para caçar comida. "Os olhos deles fazem deles adoráveis", disse Vandyke.

This Baby Seal With Huge Eyes Will Ruin You

Have you ever seen a seal take a selfie like this... and with their eyebrows so on point?

This is actually the moment a cheeky elephant seal pup posed only 30 centimetres away from photographer Inger Vandyke and her camera.

Este é, na verdade, o momento em que um filhote de elefante marinho bochechudo posou a apenas 30 centímetros da fotógrafa Inger Vandyke sua câmera.

Vandyke took the picture on Sandy Beach, Macquarie Island - one of Australias Sub-Antarctic territories. It was her first encounter with an elephant seal.

"Prior to that I had experienced many trips with fur seals so initially I was a little frightened when that elephant seal approached me. I soon learned they are harmless though and that the selfie seal was probably curious and just wanting to get warm by being close to me", Vandyke told BuzzFeed News.

"Antes disso, eu tive experiência em várias viagens com lobos marinhos, então a princípio eu estava um pouco assustada com o elefante marinho se aproximando de mim. Logo eu descobri que eles são inofensivos e que a foca da selfie provavelmente estava curiosa e só queria se aquecer ficando perto de mim", Vandyke disse ao BuzzFeed News.

"When this baby seal approached me my initial fear wore off really quickly when the guide standing nearby said he was ok. The seal then gently nudged me like a cat wanting affection. It was an incredible encounter and one that I never wanted to end."

Elephant seals are the world’s largest and deepest diving seals. They have huge eyes to help them see in depths of 1500 metres or more in the ocean when they dive to hunt for food. "Their eyes make them appear adorable", Vandyke says.
