The ginger fur, pink flippers and vivid blue eyes may be why this nearly blind, albino seal pup was rejected by his family and left to fend for himself. He was found by the photographer Anatoly Strakhov who spotted him hiding under some logs on Tyuleniy Island, Russia. Strakhov said: “He wasn’t playing with the other baby seals. He was just hiding and waiting for his mother to come and feed him.”
