Seal Is Overjoyed To Get A Massive Ice Cake For His 31st Birthday

Meet Yulelogs, a rambunctious grey seal that can’t say no to a tasty treat.

Before being put back into the wild, Yulelogs spent his early years at a marine park in the north of England. He’d spent so much time in captivity that he’d grown accustomed to people handing out the gifts.

Yulelogs was retrieved by the RSPCA three months after his release when worried members of the public complained that he was pursuing people with buckets on the beach because he thought they held fish, according to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary on Facebook.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary took Yulelogs in and he has been living peacefully ever since. Male grey seals live to be approximately 25 years old in the wild, but Yulelogs recently celebrated his 31st birthday.

The sanctuary presented him with a unique gift to commemorate the occasion: an ice cake packed with fish.

Yulelogs was overjoyed, and he didn’t hold back.

Georgina Shannon, the sanctuary’s marketing and communications coordinator, told The Dodo that Yulelogs “really liked his birthday cake.” “It’s also wonderful education for him since it challenges him to think about how to get the fish out of the cake!”

Yulelogs’ birthday party not only made him happy, but it also made his caregivers happy.

“Due to COVID-19, it’s been a very difficult few months for the sanctuary and for everyone,” she says “Shannon remarked. “So it was just really great to have a celebratory moment.”
