 A baby Baikal seal in Toba Aquarium, Mie Prefecture, Japan, although only 2 months old, has a "middle-aged uncle" face, which is red because of its cute appearance. The aquarium recently resumed business and immediately attracted a large number of tourists to see the baby seal.

The Baikal seal baby who was born in March 2020 was born with a white body and a pair of ignorant big eyes that constituted its dumb expression. The museum placed its photo on the official Twitter account and immediately detonated Japan The internet. The baby seal is also named by netizens, called "Smile King" (Niko, nico).



Due to the covid epidemic in Japan, the Toba Aquarium was temporarily closed in early April. However, staff of the museum still regularly publish photos of small animals on official Twitter.

Nico is currently only 2 months old, but his white fur slowly turns to black and gray, and the newborn baby's face becomes "uncle's face". Due to the great contrast, the museum uploaded its photos to the Internet again. Many people met to see the true face of Nico that smiled at the museum after the aquarium resumed business.

Recently, the pavilion uploaded a video of Nico playing with water on Twitter. It kept waving to the camera through the glass and stared at the camera with big eyes on the "Uncle's Face", which made the picture particularly interesting.

Netizens laughed and said, "Isn't this the old man who lives next door to my house?", "I saw the film and still suspected that this face was synthetic.", "Looking at its face made me happy all day."

The Baikal seal is the only freshwater seal in the world and the smallest seal in the world. Baikal seals will strip off their white hair when they reach adulthood, and they will gradually become dark gray; in order to accumulate fat, they will become large and larger, and their bodies will be round and rounder.

Toba Aquarium is the largest aquarium of Japan. The park is divided into 12 areas, with more than 20,000 marine and river creatures. It was temporarily closed on 10 April 2020 due to the epidemic situation, and business resumed on 18 May 2020.
