The beloved Sydney Opera House seal is back and it has a baby in tow
Sydneysiders and tourists rejoice: The Sydney Opera House seal is back, and it has a tiny baby seal in tow.
In 2014, the Sydney Opera House acquired itself a sleepy fur seal as a mascot. It just so happened the VIP steps on the harbour side of the landmark were the perfect spot for a seal to sun bake and jump in and out of the ocean. It also makes a perfect baby seat.
Tourists and Opera House staff alike have rushed to Instagram to herald the adorable new addition. While we can't 100 percent guarantee this is the original seal, or that the little guy is its baby, we can dream, right?

The Sydney Opera House seal has caused enough stir to warrant its own hashtag, and provides yet another good reason to visit the heritage listed landmark.
It is our civic duty to remind all visitors that while seals, large and small, are adorable and look like they give good hugs, they are in fact wild animals. It's best to take your pictures from the balcony above. There you are safe to "ooh and ahh" to your heart's content. #Blessed.
