Sunday is the time to rest. So let me introduce you to Almond (Badem) who is quite good at it.
Almond is a Mediterranean monk seal who happens to be a well known character in my little peninsula as well as the areas around it. Badem rescued in Dec 2006 as an orphaned pup and underwent rehabilitation for sometime and then released. However during that time he learned to love us humans more then his own kind. So he repeatedly appears in the shores for human contact and do not forget to take a good rest whenever he finds a suitable place..

ReplyDeleteMy mother tongue Urdu (which probably means Soldier in Turkish) is a mixture of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Hindi. There are quite a few words similar from the Turkish language, for example badem for Almond :) Btw, ever since a few Turkish generals came to India, Muslims here are still referred to as Turks :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetheart Almond is! Does he allow people to approach him and pet him?
ReplyDeleteHe looks quite comfortable! It doesn't look like the human contact keeps him from finding food on his own either. :D
