Baby seals get their vitamin D fix basking in Latvian sun
Several baby seals were seen lying on their backs and enjoying the sun on a beach on the Baltic Sea coast near the Latvian town of Ventspils, Friday.
Ilga Zilniece, Head of Department of Nature Supervision of Ventspils City Council (Latvian): "Of course, people saw something unprecedented, and [saw it] so close. But how to protect the seals from this too intrusive attention? Small seals, just like people, are subject to stress, they do not know who people are and what to expect from them. So I urge not to get too close to these animals."
