When it comes to delivering little animals into the world, Colchester Zoo really does have the seal of approval.

Following a number of tiny arrivals in recent months, this time the zoo's seals Jasmine and Babyface have got in on the act with a new pup.

The baby seal, which is yet to be named, was born two weeks ago and is thought to be a boy. He took his first swim and suckled the day after he was born and is very happy and healthy.
