Babyface, Europe´s oldest Common Seal, has beaten his keepers´ best efforts to prevent him becoming a dad again for the second year running in 2014.
At the grand old age of 37, Babyface has now fathered two seal pups from his supposed retirement home in two of the four years he has been at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary.
The Animal Care Team having prescribed both females, Sija and Luna, with contraceptive following the birth of pup Bo, the latest addition has been described as something of a minor miracle.
