Aaahhhh! Isn't that the cutest little bundle of fur! John Burns of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game holding a ribbon seal pup - Phoca fasciata
The ribbon seal (Phoca fasciata syn. Histriophoca fasciata) is a medium-sized pinniped from the true seal family (Phocidae). A seasonally ice-bound species, it is found in the Arctic and Subarctic regions of the North Pacific Ocean, notably in the Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk. It is distinguished by its striking coloration, with two wide white strips and two circles against dark brown or black fur.
