An Arctic seal with an apparent dislike of the cold is gradually conquering his strange phobia with the aid of a giant ice machine, experts have said.

He is now a permanent resident at the National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, Cornwall, and his carers are using a giant ice machine to try to cure his fear of the cold.
