Saba Hailton Douglas is on the hunt to find polar bears and, even though it would make a good lure, rescues a stranded seal pup along the way.

A very little seal pup who fits in the print of my boot and squeals close up for the camera. This seal pup was separated from it's mother when the hard north west wind split the ice pack and sent her ashore.

[ORIGINAL VIDEO] During a fortunate opportunity as part of a research team studying population ecology of Weddell seals in the Antarctic, Jessica Farrer and myself were able to record this video of one of the seal pups, recently weaned by its mother and on its own to learn how to survive. A pup must first get in the water to be successful as a seal! For more information on the ongoing long-term research, check out the project's website: http://www.weddellsealscience.com

As a professional photographer and tourguide I'm traveling to Greenland frequently since 10 years. In this decade I've been hiking and kayaking hundreds of kilometers on the in search of the perfect photograph. I've seen thousands of icebergs and glaciers, whales and musk ox and of course wild polar fox, but never a white one. But in September 2018 after a sunrise shot at the disco bay I've seen something pure white standing on the top of a small mountain and looking at me. A few seconds later the white thing began to move and disappeared behind the small mountain. So I took my camera with me and began running towards the mountain. After about 20 minutes I reached the top and of course the pure white fox vanished. So I walked further to the shoreline of Disko Bay. Then while climbing down to a gap in the rocks I saw the fox looking down to me just 2 meters over me. During the next 20min we did make friends and the distance became smaller. Then the unthinkable happened. The fox bit into my lens hood and stayed with me.

A little arctic fox approached this fisherman while he was ice fishing inLabytnangi, Russia. The man tried to scare him away from his fish, but the baby fox was persistent. Eventually, the fisherman allowed the little white fox to take one of his fish.

Filmed at Aviarios in Costa Rica - this baby sloth was rescued from the side of the road and taken into the orphanage as its mother had been killed. It is not a pet and I do not advocate taking any wild animals into captivity.

Sloth Compilation (Faultiere). Like if you think that sloths are the best animals. It´s a Sloth Compilation.

Chewbacca, a sloth at Aviarios del Caribe, shows his food preferences. This video is from my June 2012 volunteer trip to the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica. http://www.slothsanctuary.com/ Please remember: sloths are wild animals and should not be kept as pets. This sloth is a resident at the Sloth Sanctuary.

The first one, laying down on its side and eating, is the cutest, and like he is enjoying the luxury 😅👌🏻

A three-toed baby sloth tucks in for a feeding at the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica. Look how tiny baby sloths are compared to the human hand! So little, so sweet!

Holly is teaching this tiny baby Sloth how to climb... Baby, Sloth, Baby Sloth, climbing, Costa Rica, Cute, Adorable.

Three-toed sloths are some of the slowest and seemingly laziest creatures in the world. Instead of evolving to eat more, they evolved to do less.
