You simply can’t predict the adorable noises this seal pup makes with his fishy snack

A video posted by the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society – @vammrs – has gone massively viral, and having watched it once or twice (at least a dozen times), we can see why.

Buckle up for some industrial-strength cuteness.

Watch on TikTok

Harbour seal pup Haida Gwaii, named after an archipelago near Vancouver, has been seen blowing fish bubbles more than 25 million times on TikTok alone, with more than four million likes on the post, plus thousands of smitten comments like these.
