The Internet Is Obsessing Over This Baby Seal That Was Rescued From A Storm

It's hump day, which means it's prime time to talk about the only thing that's keeping you from crying yourself to sleep for the next two days: baby animals. Specifically, baby seals.

Personally, I find that baby seals vaguely resemble old gym socks, but I also have no heart and think that the only cute animal in existence is my dog. However, some people seem to like them, so let's talk about 'em.

In glorious baby seal news, an 18-month-old baby seal was just released back into the wild after being rescued along Australia's East Coast following a storm.

He was named Elvis because he's a low-key dancer.

He stayed at Taronga Zoo for two weeks before being released.

I NEED HIM IN MY LIFE.

Taronga Zoo and ORRCA, the organization that helped rescue Elvis, urge anyone who sees seals washed ashore to leave them alone. Most of the time they'll just go back into the water on their own. Keep your grubby fingers away from their cute, fuzzy, sock-like faces.
