THIS is the adorable seal pup that nobody wants to play with — because of his odd appearance.

The rare albino seal was rejected by his family and left to fend for himself after being born with light brown fur and striking blue eyes.

Photographer Anatoly Strakhov, who captured the extraordinary images, spotted the lonely seal hiding under some logs on Tyuleny Island, Russia.
He said: "He was not playing with other baby seals he just was hiding and waiting for his mother to come and feed him."
