Nerpa!
The nerpa seal, the amazingly globular adorable little creature in this photo, are the world's only freshwater seals, and live exclusively in Lake Baikal. This photo was taken after a show at the "neparium' in Irkutsk where Tito and Nessie painted, sung (Lonely Planet calls it 'nasal flatulence'), and counted with their flippers (I kid you not!) Soooo cute! I was so lucky as to catch one swimming wild in Lake Baikal off the island of Olk'hun.
