Ah, winter break. A time for baking cookies, reading by the fire and relaxing snowy walks

through the pine trees.

At least these walks are supposed to be relaxing. All the snow and wind came out of nowhere.

It looks like I'm stuck in a blizzard. While I trudge my way back to the warps of my cabin,

try to enjoy the snow with a winter-themed, tumble road trip. We hope you enjoy.

Hold on. Is that a seal? You know, for everything I've seen in these road trips,

I really shouldn't be surprised. I guess up next is the great seal count.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. And I'm Marshall. Welcome to Tumble, the show where we explore stories

of science discovery. Today we're discovering how to count the cutest seals on the planet,

from your own home. The cutest seals you say. Yep, they live in Antarctica and they look like puppies

with fins instead of legs. Oh, that's cute. So how do we count seals and why? That's what we're about to find out.

When I called up Leo Salas, a scientist who helped lead the first ever global count of

wettle seals, I asked the hardest question first. What are wettle seals and why are they so cute?

They're like the cutest seals on the planet. Well, so yes, they're the cutest of all these

seals. There are, as you know, many kinds of fun. I feel like you just set them up to say that

wettle seals are the cutest seals on the planet. Well, he agreed with me right away, so I figure

he's right. All right. And wettle seals are undeniably adorable. They have big puppy-like eyes,

long whiskers, smushy faces, and chunky furry bodies. Sorry, they certified chunks,

they're... Definitely. Wettle seals are one of the most famous species in Antarctica. Maybe because

they photograph so well. Because they're so far south and nothing else lives over there,

they're super friendly, so you can take those beautiful pictures. So kind of like a fashion

photographer go in like seals, look over here baby, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, work that
