Blogicized: Blogs Gone WIld

• Oh no! Frank Fitzpatrick makes an offhand joke about bloggers! An unfunny columnist doesn’t like us, guys? Oh no! Let’s get him! He’s not relevant anymore! And so forth!

Cuteness Alert: Baby Seal In Delaware!

You all remember last year when Helís the Whale cavorted in the Delaware River over the summer and thousands of people ran out to places like Bristol to try to watch it. Right. Well now the Delaware has a new visitor — one who’s much cuter than a big mean ol’ whale.

The Delaware River has a baby seal.

It’s actually a baby grey seal, which is its own species of seal, Halichoerus grypus. Scientists (or whatever) say that the seal is just looking for some fish to chow down on and will be here for a little longer.

Unfortunately, this whale isn’t white and fluffy anymore. Still, here’s an example of a grey seal pup:
