Tamina, female harbor / common seal (Phoca vitulina, tulen obecny) from ZOO Jihlava, Czech republic

Story of the title: Life is sometime quite funny thanks to dA, I met *Lunchi , who is deeply intertested in sea mammals, especially dolphins. She visits those amazing animals in German ZOO Duisburg. Lunchi also invited me to stay in her room, so I travelled some 950 kilometres to meet her and to visit dolphins with her *Lunchi loves seal from ZOO Duisburg and she was sad when she got a message, that female Tamina was about to leave the ZOO. But then she learned amazing fact - Tamina was supposed to travel to ZOO Jihlava, which is located very close to my city and I visit it quite often! It pleased both of us - *Lunchi and me now I can show my photos of Tamina to my German friend so she can see that her favourite seal is happy and doing well! is not it just great?

For *Lunchi , of course

P.S.: the one who gets the idea behind the title, will get a cookie
