Friendly Raccoons
A wildlife photographer traveled to Cozumel Island, Mexico, to capture images of the island’s wildlife. Tourists come to the island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula to scuba dive, snorkel, and explore. These pygmy raccoons are endangered on the island, but they appear to be friendly! They approached this photographer, who took a step back to give them space but couldn’t help but snap a photo. These raccoons are noticeably smaller than the raccoons that frequent the neighborhood.

Curious Baby Seal
A wildlife photographer captured this image in Stromness Bay, South Georgia. This Antarctic fur seal baby came over to get a closer look while the photographer was stationed along the shoreline to keep the animals at a safe distance. This is a medium-sized seal with a longer neck and more pointed muzzle than other seal species. The seal pups will spend around four months with their mother before venturing out on their own for several years before having their own pups.
