Friendly Raccoons
A wildlife photographer flew to Mexico’s Cozumel Island to photograph the island’s animals. Tourists come to scuba dive, snorkel, and explore the island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. On the island, these pygmy raccoons are endangered, but they look to be nice! They approached the photographer, who took a step back to give them room but couldn’t resist snapping a picture. These raccoons are notably smaller than the other raccoons in the area.

Curious Baby Seal
This shot was taken near Stromness Bay, South Georgia, by a wildlife photographer. While the photographer was posted along the coastline to keep the animals at a safe distance, this Antarctic fur seal infant came over to get a closer look. This seal has a longer neck and a more pointed muzzle than other seal species. The seal pups will stay with their mother for roughly four months before heading out on their own for several years before having their own puppies.
