The body language of the seal, with its flippers tucked in, says "it's cold" on this ice. Nice head turn to reveal the eyes and whiskers. Lovely image, Cindy.

I guess if you have to lay on frozen ground, having your own tailor made sleeping bag is a real bonus. Just the right amount of head turn to showcase the 'beard' - although its more of a moustache!

Love the color and the texture of the snow and ice as well as the composition, Cindy.
As Carol mentioned it looks the Seal has its custom made sleeping bag. Nice head turn and showing the whiskers.
