Did you know that seal sneezes sound a lot like farts? Most people probably don’t have any reason to know that, but polar photographer John Bozinov does.

Most seals are cute no matter what they do (adult male elephant seals might be an exception, and maybe leopard seals too, because they’re far too fierce to be “cute”).

When they’re not swimming or galumphing around on land, they’re lying around like seal sausages. And when they sneeze, well, watch and listen for yourself:
Honestly, though, how often does Bozinov have to wipe seal snot off his camera lens? That last sneeze sent snot flying into space.
