AN elephant seal breaks the ice with a photographer’s wife by giving her a huge hug.

The pup affectionately flopped on to Jess Taunton as she and hubby Chris Bray tried to snap king penguins in South Georgia, South America.

Chris, a geographic wildlife photographer from Christmas Island, Australië, gesê: “My wife Jess was lying down to take a shot… when a marauding gang of elephant seal pups decided to flop on over and give her a hug.

“They’re as heavy as they are adorable, almost.”

One of pups broke away from the group and began showing special interest in Jess.

The video shows the curious creature repeatedly putting its body weight on top of Jessica as if it was giving her a big hug.
